They are selling as fast as they can build them.

Perhaps it’s because everyone is holding out to see the new Defender. I am, otherwise a D5 would be in the driveway.

It is the lowest selling model of LR's at the moment,world wide.

I recon the new Defender will probably steal a good few of its probable sales in the next few years.

There are six parked out the front of the local Dealer if anyone wants one all different colours including appliance white...

I'm in the same boat. I am in 2 minds about a new 4wd. But to the extent that I'm thinking of a new one I don't like anything much except D5 (And I have some reservations but otherwise it's the best of what's available)...until...new Defender spy shots and some detail revealed and that gave me happy pause. I wanted another LR but didn't really love any of them and the Deefer sounds like something I would.

Cheers

The discovery was brought closer to the Range Rover with the discovery 5.. most people buying them all be spending between 100 and 150 if they tick lots of boxes.. barebones can still be had for much cheaper.

Double and almost tripple the sales of the current defender last time I checked, if you're right then what does that say about the current defenders looks etc?

Im also in this boat, especially after the rear drawer setups got released.

There are six there because they are selling, has been almost as many D5s in Australia sold recently as Range Rover sports
