Spoke to my dealer today he said 90 orders were going way beyond their expectations. He has had 8 110 orders move to new 90 orders but instantly filled the 110 order slots with customers wanting it earlier. They are above internal targets on both models. Frustratingly no news on the 130 yet, I’m discussing a 110 x order with them but it seems the x will not be delivered until back end of the year ! Hse would be earlier so I wonder if engine supply is impacting the x? 110 MY23.5 X Dynamic HSE

Our dealer saying that the 130 will not be available in Europe, only US and maybe Asia. And you can order it at the end of 21 or early 22

Did they quote any numbers or is it just marketing Censored 101 based on this:

Is this a typo and "now" should be "no" as you appear to be agreeing with previous poster? Confused

That is hideous. All the plastic bits look proper Poundland. WARNING.

To put the 'sales' into perspective Ford are targeting global sales of 200,000 for the new Bronco.

We should see the full sized Bronco in March so not long now

I have priced up two 90's on the configurator, both well over £60k

I'll keep what I have saved in monthly payments for a full rebuild when it needs it.

‘Russell Leslie is a friendly Brummie who moved to Slovakia after 26 years working around the world for JLR, including managing the Defender line. He explains that getting production moving at Nitra was easier than usual, because the Discovery already had an established engineering process’

That's an interesting read. I found this sentence a bit worrying though - "But the biggest challenge of the build process, he says, is “bottlenecks in electronics because of its complexity. Everything is electronic.”

Can't help thinking that the majority of warranty claims will be electronic as well.

JLR have obviously invested a lot of money into this venture so let's hope it's a success. Defender 90XS SW
