Maybe forum members aren't convinced the new Land Rover should have been called a 'Defender' (when did it become a Defender-2 ?)
Maybe forum members see it potentially as a luxury 4WD rather than a down to earth workhorse it's replacing.
So far masses of hype, launched well before it was ready for sale, lots of 'controlled' testing.....it'll be interesting to see how the sales go once it's finally launched in Australia.
I wish them all the best with it but it certainly isn't something I'd buy.....OK maybe years down the track when it's price is down to a sensible level.
