Well folks, it’s here, they have been on sale for a few months and I doubt very much no matter how many “anti” posts there are in this forum that JLR will be considering a redesign in the next 3-5 years so you’d better just live with it, like it or not. I don;t see folks posting in the other sections about how noisy, harshly suspended, unreliable, leaky or uncomfortable the “Land Rover” was.
It would be nice for those considering helping to keep JLR in business by buying a new car from them and coming to this forum don’t get put off because then there will be nothing for any LR enthusiasts regardless of which model it is and I have heard the same things repeatEd ad infinitum about Discovery 1, Discovery 3, Freelander, L322 FFRR, RRS, Evoque and Discovery 5 over the years and it’s all starting to sound rather like the gramophone needle has got stuck............ just get over it and let this part of the forum return to being a discussion of problems and fixes, tips and hints for L663 Defender users. We hear you that it doesn’t look like the old Defender. old Defender has been killed off, it reached the end of the line and fell off it, it is dead, nailed to the perch, gone and it isn’t going to come back in the form you would like it to. Even Grenadier is now starting to get flack for not looking enough like an old Land Rover..........

Well said!!!!!

... it is a shame that the new Defender has proved so divisive .

LOL, yes, it's the trucks fault!

Listen, haters gonna hate. That is ok. It's unfortunate that people, who don't even own the new Defender, have to whine about it over and over. We get it. You don't like it. That is ok. Opinions are like arseholes, everyone has one (and is entitled to one). 95%+ of the Automotive press and most people really like it. They like the modern design. They like the new technology. They like the rugged refinement.

Peoples irrational hate of the new vehicle is noted. You can keep whining about it, but nothing will change. Wait. One thing may change, if my new 110 proves reliable over the next 6 months, I will probably buy a new 90 to replace my second car!

Thank you Land Rover for a great machine!

Thank you! I will be sure not to bad mouth a specific model that I do not own or in the subforum of said car.

Really, maybe you should take a closer look.

I think we all can agree that the new Defender's design is a piece of artwork, inside and out, coupled with modern technology and superior performance.

..this concludes only that you have no idea about either art or performance..

Listen, I think the new Defender is great. Not sure if you are old enough to drive, but I am guessing you don't own a new Defender, but like to badmouth it anyway. I don't own an old Defender but I don't go over the the old Defender forums and insult it. But if it makes you feel good, then go for it. If you are jealous or can't afford a new one, I can't do much to help. If you set up a gofundme, I might toss a few bucks your way. All of your anger over a car you don't even own is not good for you health. The stress is enough to make a persons hair fall out.

I think I will take a cruise in my new 110, a true work of art and high performance machine...the highest performance!

I think the irony here is, every post you have made has been a slur, attack and insult on the old model or people who like it. Or even people you think like it or people you assume don't own a new model like yourself. Yet you have the audacity to claim you don't insult

You come across very childish.

Very poor etiquette and attitude. I am disappointed.

Good day, sir.
