Heard you loud and clear the first time, just dont agree with you, hence posting up facts to the contrary.

Happy to agree to disagree

It’s not about loyalists converting and buying a luxo SUV

It’s the company taking a vehicle name (I know it’s their pejorative to do whatever they want) and plonking it on just another SUV

Heck for all I care JLR could make 75 different SUVs all slightly different but from 500m they all look the same.

Don’t plonk the name Defender on some luxo SUV piece of junk.

Simples

It no different to say

BMW putting an M badge on slow poke commuter

Or FORD putting an F-truck label on something say Ranger sized

Or Jeep releasing a Wrangler that doesn’t have a soft top / half door / SWB version in the line up


It’s just not done

If JLR don’t want to make a workhorse let the name Defender pass and call this new luxo SUV something else.

Or Porsche building a car with 4 doors.... :-)

Take another good look at the all-new Land Rover Defender - Auto News

Reveal date keeps getting earlier, Sept 5 on this report.

Recycled chook food bags.
Goat poo is pellets, unlike chook poo. Do I need to say more?

Its a D4 with a tech update, curves and euro whatever engines. As has been said here....it'll be what the D5 was hoped to be. Can't wait

Happy 400th to you ....

I'll bet that when the Land Rover went to coils and permanent 4WD there were people saying that it wasn't a real LR .... plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose.

Who will get the 4000th post!!!

Arapiles
Surely you can’t be saying the transition from Series III to a County is as disparate as Puma to this thing?

Long stretch making that call!!!!

I remember when the D3 was released going to a LR club event, won't say where, and the evening consisted of a bunch of grizzled veterans sitting around moaning that the D3 had gone soft and wasn't a 'real' Landy. Sound familiar?
