Thread: Some better spy shots at last!

Americans are the most gullible people on the planet. They just lap this tripe up.

Not sure why anyone would have expected anything more from LR to be honest. Until I actually see something from them with a release date I won't be convinced they will actually even build it.

Seriously soo many whingers on here

Reminds me of charlie and the chocolate factory kid, "I want my umper lumper (new defender) nowww daddyyy!! Haha.

Great article, not so much with the thread title.

Pretty much same thing happened moving from D2-D3 everyone thought the world was going to end as it wasn't a carbon copy of the D2.
Now the D3(especially the coiler) is known as one of the greats and well respected

It was LR US that set the "27th" as a date of significance not LR UK so, there was never going to be anything significant in it.

The only place a reveal will take place is at a significant motor show and the only one of those that seems to fit the bill is the Geneva Motor Show in March (as mentioned in a previous article.).

I thought it was a good article too. I also agree that every evolution has improved on the previous. The spec sheets may not make you think it, but in practise they have improved. I have a decked out D2 with all of the kit and when I first went out with the D3 I was really surprised and impressed - the nay sayers thought they knew, but they didn’t. I’m really optimistic about the new Defender.

You are joking aren't you? Surely you mean the D3 with air suspension - the coiler as standard is a bit of a dud - evidenced by the need to get it lifted to be competent offroad.

But we have already seen all those pics - nothing new there.
