The more I look at the DC100 the more I like it. Given the crash/pedestrian protection rules, I'm not sure how much different they can make it.

Roll on the replacement...

Seriously who buys a three door 4wd nowdays ?? This type of vehicle is normally found in the cities owned by woman, look at wranglers and the few Defender 90s they sell in NZ are always found in Auckland . In Australia they removed the 90 from the market , no one wants them. Its a suzuki market.
The world wants a Land Criuser sized vehicle or a Hi Lux double cab , the sales speak for themselves . In our little insignificant market of NZ , the toyota corolla was the biggest selling car of 2014 with 6472 sales followed by the ford ranger with 6330 sales ending 32 years of complete dominance by the hi lux , that was in third place with 5774 sales.
I drive around in my hens teeth 2009 130 double cab and most people comment on how good it looks , but are horribly dissapointed when they climb in and cant fit in the thing because there is no room in it !! I dont tell them about the water leaks when it rains !! Over 90 per cent of Hilux and Ranger sales are double cab models so a defender 4 door wagon or a new 130 ute is what our market will be interested in, not that tiny looking sand drawing of a DC100 hairdressers vehicle .
I want a Ranger sized double cab , with capability , a 4 tonne tow capacity , a one and a half tonne pay load just like my 130 , that doesnt leak, that can actually fit five people without molestation charges and looks like a modern Land Rover Defender !!!!
