    I assume the new Defender will have both 2.0 and 3.0 diesels, with base and performance versions.

    The new defender will be powered by a Pentium Processor . We are talking well over 133mhz here. It will have enough power to spin up four wheels and operate the windscreen wipers at the same time - without crashing! Real talk.

    Oh and I hear there will be a setting for 'classic mode' that you can purchase as an over the air software update. It will reduce engine power, and amplify the engine and wind noise in through your stereo. Nice!

    That would be perfect!

    Except for the seat setting. Defender seats are comfy!

    And I would add, DUMB MODE. If activated , the pentium processor shuts up. Anything out of spec is ignored, no limp modes, no warnings!

    Is that a bit like the Random Super-Stealth Mode option ?

    Bloody hell, there is nothing new in all the world is there?

    Now, if Engineering could only reverse engineer all the above points there could be a good vehicle in it.

    I would have thought Aus would have been a more important testing place than Japan.

    That might be more about getting it spotted and creating some buzz... Wrong time of year there to do any meaningful enviro testing. Maybe they just wanted an excuse to check out the Cherry Blossoms...
