    New new defender thread

    We need a new thread, one with less drivel in it. With only important stuff in it.

    Personally, I'm excited about the New Defender. I've got a 2011 D4 and guess what car I want to replace it..... something like the D4. Something that's pretty square and boxy and is as good on and offroad as the D4. Something that is customisable to some degree.

    So we really don't know much so far, except there will be a range of engines and a range of body styles. I thought I'd repost this picture that purportedly shows a SWB Defender being tested. It shows that the roofline is vastly different from what we've seen on the cladded versions going around.

    So, only good/new stuff here, no drivel.

    Cheers
    Lucas

    Indeed. ...or how about a thread for discussion by those who actually want a new Defender, not drivel about it being great because it looks like it will be a re-badged Discovery 4?

    Kinda like this?

    Won’t be retro...

    That post started as a new thread, mods merged it as it was apparently too similar, even though it had instructions to not post, rather post in won't be retro, it was made to just use as a "sticky" "what we know" kinda thread.

    Everytime new info comes to light, its updated and reposted in won't be retro thread.

    Pic you posted is in the won't be retro too.

    Agree with a thread just for people looking at buying a new defender though, called as such.

    Its a bit tiring all the yota fans trying to convert us or convince us how bad the old defender was, or how un 79series like the new one will be, on a landrover forum.

    If you can convince the mods of a new thread great.

    Maybe called, "Potential New Defender Buyers"

    Can't see any point in a new thread when no substantial real "Factory JLR" stuff is known.

    Thank you Pickles.

    Yes we have been bombarded continuously with non JLR releases and fake news from non experts ....

    ......and it's probably going to continue until Land Rover themselves make official releases.

    Pickles.
    If people haven't been following the discussions from the start maybe, imo MOST of the car can be ascertained already.

    Won’t be retro...

    Let me put it this way, what is not known or highly likely?

    Nothing at all is actually known about the new Defender by anyone outside JLR.

    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.
