Great to see, but I would not want to be an early adopter of a new JLR product.

Went in today into my local main dealer and it’s a £1000 returnable deposit just to get your name on the first build list. No pictures, no info, no release date, my deposit NO chance

It's an interesting method to get a lot of mugs - sorry, optimists - to lend them cash in the run up to the launch. 1000 optimists = interest-free loan of £1M.

My thoughts exactly !! I was told I would get my Defender before the end of 2020, rather a rash statement considering they couldn’t or wouldn’t give anymore information away than what’s already online, I was told 15 people had already paid a build slot deposit......

i wonder if they will launch short and long wheelbase at the same time
didnt the 90 come out followed later by the 110 i think id buy a long wheelbase new defender, but wouldn't want to put deposit down and be told only swb are being made and that lab ones would be another 6 months away or whatever ive got my name down for a suzuki jimmy, but speculation of £13k price has been replaced by actual price of £18999 for the auto plus £650 for paint, so thats £19.6k i might wait a year more and save for new defender |

Cozz, the One Ten was launched 15 months before the Ninety.

I made an “expression of interest” deposit on one yesterday, dealers have limited engine configuration details and not a lot more. There will be similar mild hybrids to what the new Evoque has as well as Ingenium 6 cylinder petrol and diesels - I was told yesterday one of the petrols will be a 380hp turbo straight 6. All engines that are not PHEV will have 48v mild hybrid tech to help reduce emissions and consumption.
I wasn’t going to ever buy a new JLR product, however in 2020 my Defender will have its 25th birthday and my Mini Countryman PHEV will be 2 and I will be looking to reduce my garage to 1 car so figured it would have to be a replacement Short wheelbase Defender PHEV rather than an I-Pace. Pangea Green D250 90 HSE with Air Suspension, Off-road Pack, Towing Pack, Black Contrast roof , rear recovery eyes, Front bash plate, Classic flaps all round, extended wheel arch kit and a few bits from PowerfulUK Expel Clear Gloss PPF to come 2020 D240 1st Edition in Pangea Green with Acorn interior. Now gone - old faithful, no mechanical issues whatsoever ever but the leaks and rattles all over the place won’t be missed! |

Me too, paid a returnable deposit to get an (hopefully) early build slot Dealer had had 16 deposits already Of course once we actually see pics / reviews then deposits should come flooding in, probably with people having to wait quite a while to get one I'm after a 110 hardtop equivalent with leather, so hopefully something along those lines will be possible Its going to reach fever pitch nearer the time, at least I've got a few months to look forward to it. I guess the entry model will still be quite high spec compared to defenders as we currently know them |

Let it be whispered that, nearer the time, there may be the possibility of selling on, at a premium, ones build slot ?
Now, I wonder how many advance-depositer's have that in mind ? Not me, by the way, for the sake of clarity. |

I'm tempted to slap an intent deposit down as they'll surely be "the car of the moment" upon release (and hence have stable residuals, maybe even profit to be made short-term), but after a very bad experience with a Range Rover the thought of buying any newly-released LR product makes my bumhole twitch.

I was just thinking if you could sell your build slot if you didn’t like what it ends up looking like and if anyone could/would sell it for more?? I won’t be buying one as I expect the price tag to be rather high.
