Oh boy
 It's difficult to know where to start with that one but the detail that leaps out is the twin snorkels, neither of which appear to be connected to anything. Darren

There's been a lot of talk of why Land Rover don't go down the same route as Mercedes G Wagen ,well now you know why not

It acts as a foot-brace when you're leaning out of the window 'blatting' rounds from your Heckler and Koch at some gangster in his Merc G Wagen. You will obviously look like Jason Statham and be foiling some international conspiracy. Can't think of any other reason to have it there, unless it's for some rough sex and allows the owner's wife to prop her knees up. 
Am I allowed to say that? Monsieur Le Grenadier I've not been everywhere, but it's on my list..... 2011 Puma 110DC - Corris Grey |

Perhaps it covers up some redundant holes from a previous attempt to ruin a perfectly good Defender.

I'm going to be controversial here... apart from the silly roof bars, air scoops on the bonnets and double snorkel I quite like the exterior look. The interior, on the other hand, is horrendous! James

It's interesting that the comments on the TG site (at this point in time) are largely positive, apart from the price.
It may not appeal to Defender purists (no surprise), but others seem to like the more outrageous styling - the popularity of the AMG G-Wagen is proof the market for this kind of stuff is out there. And the money. |

The funniest comment was how they used a carbon fibre grill to save weight
I am sure that will make all the difference in a 2ton Defender. If they drill the pedals I reckon they could get down to sub 5 sec 0-60 times |

Outstanding!
I do like the article "Land Rover accidentally designs SAAB" too, it is spot on! |
