I do agree with this, slovakia now has pretty big capability, 40+k sales is similar to RRVogue numbers and around 2.5x defender sales so not a sales dud by any means especially considering how much the average sale price would be.Quote:

Basically if the disco is a dud and sells 40k and the defender only sells 20k on a good year, what are you saying about the defender. Sale price have to also be taken into account, easy to sell 200,000 of 25k carsQuote:

Numbers drop usually higher up the market, you simply just dont have to sell as many for the same return.

Unfortunately for your argument, the Pajero Sport isn't monocoque - it has a ladder chassis. Since it's actually the Triton ute turned into a wagon. And it has no relationship to the actual Pajero, they just borrowed the name at the last update: it used to be called the Challenger.Quote:

Arapiles,
Me thinks the D3 came out "largely intact", due to the fact it was wearing a bullbar....
What do you think both cars would look like if the D3 wasn't wearing the bar???
What if the Paj Sport was wearing a bullbar?
What if both were wearing a bullbar??
Edit; not to mention the fact the point of impact was not central.
Going to the extreme end, the Disco 3/4 series of vehicles can save it's occupants in pretty big impacts even without a bullbar. The link below is from 2009 or thereabouts.

Just heard from my dealer that for AU people will be able to configure a new defender online and place orders with dealers the morning after the reveal.. I'm hoping the builder goes live at reveal but i guess the next morning is ok too. [emoji6]
Build slots will be confirmed Nov, with deliveries for the 110 mid 2020 & deliveries of the 90 about 6 months later.
