Some cars look crap in photos and better in the flesh, some cars look great in photos and crap in the flesh.. Only time will tell.

I am worried about BR though - what's he going to do after the big release!?

No different to fitting an awning or a snorkel in my opinion.
I'll be driving my defender how about you? nice that you care though

Someones photoshop, very good effort imo

Quick and dirty comparison against the gold standard in vehicles (the D4), the D5, the best detail I could scavange for a 2013 defender 110, and what we know about the 2020 Defender...

Im sure you know as per D5 air/coil affects angles and wading
Seat number affects payload

Yeah, got that, and the D5 angles may be in 'extended offroad' mode, it isn't clear from the detail. The number of seats i listed is 'seats you can sit in with this amount of volume', rather than total installed seats in the car

I am hoping to purchase a 90 - when they are released next year. I am not silly enough to place an order - until I have seen it, driven it and looked at the specification sheets and options. I can't wait for some real facts.

In the meantime - I will continue to drive my FFR, 101, Range Rover Classic, Discovery 1, Freelander 1, Series 2 88, Series 2 109, etc.
