Agree wholeheartedly...I'm sure SWMBO would like one for shopping trips... Defender "Puma" 2.4 110 County Utility (possibly the last of the 2.4's)

Well i hate it Crying or Very sad

No style or personality of it's own, all models blending into one almost identical look now [just like other marques] Rolling Eyes Guns and Landrovers .... anything else is irrelevant.

I think the basic test for a Defender's looks is: could you see the military using it. Whether they actually do or don't makes no odds, but it's a great way to see if the design is good.

The DC100? Nope.

The sides are ok, the front looks like a Mitsubishi and the rear with the tyre clamp a Jeep and the roof line a retro Toyota. Each LR looks unique this looks like a sum of others.

Could you refine the poll to ask

"Do you like the DC100....

Yes, from the side, but the front looks like a dog's dinner

No, it's just revolting"

Then I can respond

New Defender?
So this is the new defender Rolling with laughter

Base spec Freelander 1 with an aftermarket winch and a couple of towing eyes? LR would have been better off tweaking the existing style and making it so that it didn't rot/leak/rust etc.

Mrs Beckham didn't have something to do with this as well did she Rolling Eyes

I don't dislike it, BUT it is not a Defender. Would be happy for the wife to drive/own it, but not for me.

i just wonder if they can re-build a Landy that comes close to the defender design, i doubt it, otherwise they would not have to change it.
Now that they have come up with the 2012 2,2 and the emissions seems to be in order with EU regulations, why can't they just mess about with the TD4 and put some airbags inside. I know that the building process seems to be very expensive for LR but if you Censored up all the customers you might just as well give up.

I also wonder what's going to happen to all the suppliers who sell stuff for Land Rovers, (the magazines are full of them) they will have to redesign everything.
I'm just thinking here that maybe the defender customer is not that big a deal for LR they seem to sell the rest pretty well. Range Rover, Freelanders, Disco's LANDROVER Defender Best 4 x 4 x Far
