Also, it is definitely a render or Photoshop job. The lighting is all weird for a real photo.

Yes - the lighting on the Defender is over your left shooulder - see the shadow of the spare. But the background ridge is backlit!

Found this seemingly unlisted link, googling frankfurt

Edit: Looks to be an old link, but date might just update every day to todays date.

Its official, 2 reveal dates, wohoo

I have just returned from my bi annual trip to SA desert country.

Not a Land Rover of any vintage , model or range to be seen either coming or going over 6000km.

Hundreds of Landcruisers of all denomination, hundreds of Ford Rangers , hundreds of other Isuzus , Colorados , Jeeps, HiLuxes.

Black rangie, for you......do you believe that I will see new Defenders in the bush on my next trip there in April 2020?

Do you really think that the general Australian population , with the advent of a super new luxo SUV, will forgive and forget what LR have done to them over the past 20yrs , and buy new Defenders when they can buy what is written above for a bout half the price, with superb dealership back up?

This thread has been fun , but I'm willing to take a bet that I will not see a new Defender in the SA bush by easter next year.

So no release date for the new Defender in Aus,with all this LR stuff,nothing about Aus has been mentioned.

Maybe it won't be here until after Easter.

Pretty normal in the bush,i am often in regional areas,hardly ever see an LR,thats been the way for years.
And its not going to change anytime soon.

If I buy one you’ll see one in the bush in under a day of ownership.

You just have lucked it, just last weekend we passed about 6 fully kitted out D3&4s in 500km.

And a Prado and a 200 on tilt trays.
