Thread: Will be Retro

Sorry, I call BS on that second picture. Tilted camera or done in post production.

Agree but that photographer is amazing, check his account.

Maybe its actually downhill, or maybe its just flat, ask him on his account, I'm sure he will reply if you ask nicely.

No need to ask anyone - It's obviously flat terrain, just look at the angle of the vegetation.

I agree 100% - I figured that with photoshop nowadays - it’s hard to tell what’s real anymore

That's what I look at in a lot of images, being a photographer myself. This one is level or a very slight incline or decline.

Ha,

I remember when they were filming the man from snowy River.
Beresford wanted the scene of the rider(the man from snowy river) chasing the brumbies down an extremely steep slope to look really,really steep.
So they planted all the sapplings on a lean towards the slope,........on camera it looked near vertical!

I'm guessing its why it didn't make the cut to the official photos, Nick seems to have permission to release unused shots after the fact.

Another decent article from AU

Land Rover Defender takes aim at Toyota Prado | GoAuto

Again Prado not officially mentioned, however there would be little doubt as to what company he is referring too, LC200 & Prado are no doubt on the list of "conquests"

JLRA certainly seem enthusiastic about its Australian and International potential.

My favs:

“It will be spot on for the psyche for the Australian consumer, where it is about the practicalities of outdoor life, transporting families longer distances, going out to the beach and hills whatever. If there’s a country in the world that this car is best suited to, it’s got to be Australia.”

“We’re a top-ten market globally for that car, and it’s going to be close to one of our best-selling individual nameplates,” he revealed. “If you look at it in that context, and versus the historic affection for the brand and nameplate, and what I know about the car and what it is going to deliver, it is going to be massive for global sales, massive for JLR, and massive for Australia

“Keep in mind, we did very well with the Discovery IV here. Many people have bought Discovery Vs, but some others are waiting for something that is square design and utilitarian. And there is a huge market out there for that size and type of vehicle that we know is seducible, and I’m confident we will deliver.

“So, I think new Defender is going to be a car that has broad appeal to existing Land Rover customers – Discovery IV customers for example, previous Defender customers, as well as a whole lot of conquest opportunity, particularly from another popular brand that I am not going to mention.

Interesting JLR have identified that AU will be in the top 10 places they will sell the new Defender worldwide. Also they are confident it will be one of thier best sellers.

Also comment about square design and utilitarian is positive.
