    Apparently the Defender could not be continued as it was , I accept that.

    Clearly the new machine is not and never will be a Defender, JLR have made a huge mistake calling it a Defender when in fact it should have been called a Discovery . And that D5 stopgap, why did they even bother ??

    Ive never been in the market for a Discovery & will never buy one .

    If Jeep can build the new Gladiator ,(Live Axle Dual Cab Ute) theres no reason JLR could not have done the same with Defender and made proper inroads into the US Market, something the Pretender will not do.

    What would have made me happy? ... If JLR won't or can't build a utilitarian vehicle in this day and age they should have just killed off the Defender name and let it rest in peace.

    Good point,Holden kept the Commodore name,and look whats happened to them since local manufacturing was discontinued.

    Ford, on the other hand have done better,the Falcon name was dropped.

    JLR also killed off the Discovery,the D5 isn't really a Disco.

    And they watered down the RR name by calling the Epoke a RR.

    Oh well,good luck to them,the D4 will more than likely our last LR,unless the new Defender impresses us once we can get a look at it.

    We wil move to another brand,there is no option.
