    So far it's all entirely speculative by journo's and AULRO members, and/or marketing spin by JLR. ...Spin is not facts.

    The only fact so far, is that a highly camouflaged test vehicle purporting to be the next Defender has been tested. This test vehicle looks remarkably like a Discovery 4. There are a few details that can be surmised from the images, such as independent rear suspension and the general size of the vehicle.

    BUT THAT's IT. Probably not enough at this stage for a new thread. Unless of course you want more speculation ...LOL.
    Actually JLR confirmed that what we see is the new defender pilot vehicles.

    We know the following:

    Rear mounted spare

    Side swing door

    Fully independant susp

    Air susp

    Coil option

    Panoramic roof seen on nurburgring vehicles

    Approx approach and departure angles

    Minimum 6 seats

    Family of defenders

    Utilitarian and lux options

    Small to large wheels

    Low to high power engines

    Different brakes

    Boxy shape

    Etc etc etc

    So much is known.

    From the link above there is so much more known and stated on record by JLR about what it will and wont be.

    I guess some people have to wait until every detail is on the brochure, they miss out on all the fun. New new defender threadNew new defender thread

    Actually no, you said only this is known, and its not factual.

    "There are a few details that can be surmised from the images, such as independent rear suspension and the general size of the vehicle."

    So everything in the link every car in the world has as well
    Won’t be retro...
    I think not, every SUV has incredible approach and departure angles?, 3 front seats?, air susp? Side opening rear door?, utilitarian and lux options, family of defenders? haha, most don't have any of that.

    I am posting in all threads in the L660 forum to reaffirm that the actions of some members here is causing others a lot of grief. I have closed 'It won't be Retro' for a couple of days to let everyone calm down - I expect the same thing on this thread - ongoing aggressive behavior by ANYONE will NOT be tolerated.
    If you need to contact me please email homestarrunnerau@gmail.com - thanks - Gav.

    I'm with you Zeros, I dont believe you are trolling , and like me you are looking for definitive information from the manufacturer , which is not really forthcoming.

    Yesterday I tried to search genuine release information from Land Rover officially and the reality is Land Rover has released nothing. Nothing of any significance at all , not one bit of solid authenticated information.

    Everything else is speculation by journalists and reporters.

    I am very much looking forward to genuine Land Rover releases , not being saturated by more photos of test mules of whatever they are. In fact I don't want to see another one.

    This is an exciting phase, and I remember the D1 ...Land Rover released their information when they were good and ready....and the hill descent...nobody , not even journos understood it until Land Rover released their actual videos of the system in real time.

    So , what I'm saying in support of you Zeros , is that Land Rover will again release their real info again....as opposed to journos, reporters , spy cameras and excited posters.......when they are good and ready.
