They've made a vehicle that will appeal to the masses which makes financial sense.
I'm not sure it should carry the Defender name, aesthetically it seems to have lost the Defender DNA (but probably retains the defender off road capabilities).
I'm not in their target market for a number of reasons, I'm sure it will sell well but If I was in out my Series/Defender would I wave to one ? Probably not as I wouldn't recognise it as a Land Rover because it's so similar to a number of other 4wd's. Plus the driver wouldn't have a clue as to why they were getting waved at......
