    I recon my hi-lux will still be more value for money the the all new Land Rover.......hence why they are king of fleet.
    How can land rover expect to compete in the same market as the hilux or any other commercial market for that matter when they have failed to have a vehicle available for several years. After all they new they were going to stop defender production and still had nothing. This is the fastest growing vehicle market, Mercedes could see this and have released new models while land rover stuffs around for how long with no vehicle to compete in this market. This is why i feel land rover will not be trying to compete with other commercial vehicles. I have a series 3swb and a hilux as a daily drive that i want to replace and am trying to wait until i see what land rover offers, i guess thats what land rover are trying to achieve by releasing spy photos and the like.

    The best thing about the eventual release of the “new defender”, will be Ineos releasing their “new defender” shortly afterwards.
    We own a Isuzu powered 110, I won’t be changing from this for a remote area travel unit. But if there is something that resembles where the puma defender left off, I’d consider it for a daily. I’ve owned a 2013 dual cab hilux (replaced our Td5 110), other than the incredible resale value, it’s two years of my motoring life that I’ll never get back.
    Now I drive a 1995 Vitara as a daily, and despite all it’s failings, at $300 total purchase cost, at least when it comes to resale, I can’t really lose! I’m happy to drive it and wait for a new product that is a genuine replacement for a defender, we’ve almost purchased a Puma, but the idea of paying exorbitant prices for a vehicle thats in the price range of a new vehicle makes it hard to justify, maybe the best buys at the moment are some of the Td5 and Tdi vehicles.
    So I guess i’m hedging my bets on something with a bit of integrity coming from JLR or Ineos.
    Maybe nothing good will come from this, and old defenders will become priceless, although, to me at least, ours already is.
    cheers, Bob

    It's getting pretty close to being uncovered but I believe there is still some Camouflage on the bonnet front end and roof. 2020 Defender - Current Defender / Series Owners Thoughts...

    It appears to narrow at the rear.
