Any Land Rover fans in?

They have to change, no body is buying defenders, all the farmers are using L200s, so it's a dying market when you think of all the old ones seem to still be on the road, and people are happy to hold onto them.

Agreed - but that thing is just another yuppie yummy mummy mobile.
"I just have to have one of those darling, I can't take the kids to school in a boring old Focus or Golf, can I?".

The most off-road those things are going to see is being parked with a couple of wheels on the pavement :roll:.

About 18 months ago I spoke to a senior engineer at JLR (who now does management stuff rather than anything interesting)

He told me that the new Defender would be aimed at developing markets e.g. South America/Asia and would be a genuine utility vehicle.

Mind you I have no way of knowing that he wasn't feeding me BS and I have not spoken to anyone else involved with any Land Rover product developement since then, so even if he was telling the truth I have no idea if they have changed their brief since then.

I can't bring myself to fully believe that the ridiculous designs released so far are anything at all like what will actually be produced... I'm still hopeful that they are really working on a proper utility replacement and just throwing people off the scent.

Time will tell...
