I'd be very happy in Landie Boy's interpretation, assuming they changed the headlights. What interests me more, though, is what lies underneath?

If it's a D4 chassis and running gear it'll be a winner, I drove one last week and it's fantastic. If as has been suggested it's another crappy 4 cylinder engine then it won't.

It looks a whole lot better than the Toyota FJ Cruiser

It's just not very cool at the end of the day. The naff G4 paint job doesn't help things either. I think the design team should be made to drive to Capetown in a Defender .It would get the car in their blood and soul and might inspire a different approach, certainly some more respect for it. Clearly there's none in these first pics 110 HT TD5 - 110 XS SW Puma

With current defender sales barely breaking 25k units pa they have to produce something which is going to appeal to a wider audience otherwise they might as not well build the thing at all.

If this is an early incarnation of the final model then ....I like it Cool

Get with it chaps ...time to take off those wooly underpants and shave those beards Very Happy Wink

Or buy a Discovery and join D3.net Laughing Last time I checked (this morning) I didn't have any woolly underpants or a beard. Thumbs Up

If Jeep can still make a model very similar to your vehicle emblem, can not really land rover? Come on, do not make me laugh.

If you give Do you want your audience that is as easy as taking the car today, leak-free mount, put the soundproofed and insulated house and stick a modern engine (that meets the European standard as it takes), with td4 are very close. .... I do not understand the problem of defending. http://www.clublandrovertt.org/index.php?a...ype=avatar

Surely by it having a winch on it shows it's not going any place a normal defended would go without one
Lets hope it looms nothing like it or at least if it does make sure the under side is descent so we can still at least modify

I think the most important question here is: why bring this out? It's basically a Disco, with a few small visual tweaks. Based on the reporting I've been reading it will also have terrain response and probably a heap of other gadgets to go wrong and break down.

So they're bringing out a Disco and calling it a Defender. Yay. Not impressed.
