    I'm sure it's all been discussed a million times. I bought my defender new and still have it. Perhaps I would have considered the new one.. alas with just getting a few basic options it looks like it will be in the mid 80's. And even then it's probably not a full replacement in many ways for our current one. Oh well.

    Maybe they might do a utility one if this one doesn't sell.

    Probably by increasing the rear seat legroom, which is cramped in the 110.

    Definitely not going to impress them either if they are coming from a huge and powerful LC200 or Y62.Even a GU or 100 series are a lot larger.

    Or a D3/4 for that matter.......

    Might be OK if they are moving up from a RAV or Subaru wagon

    That's okay, the dinosaurs are on borrowed time. Governments are applying emissions and fuel economy rules which mean the manufacturers get fined if their ranges don't meet average rules. To avoid the fines they have to replace their thirsty dinosaurs with smaller, more efficient engines. So the V8s will die off and be replaced by twin turbo fours and the like. Then they will all be replaced by electric vehicles. That's the future.
