What do you expect for a starting price of £43,000? Some people are never satisfied, you'll have more crumble zones, air bags and seat belt tensioners than you can shake a stick at, oh and keyless entry to keep the thieves happy. You're just going to have to tow one, which will be a piece of cake with "tow assist" and rear view camera as standard for hitching.

That photo also makes me wonder if anyone will provide a road-rail adaptation of the new Pretender! Unlikely, I think!

Don't be so sure - it's been done for a Discovery Sport:

That wouldn't be allowed on Network Rail infrastructure for a whole gamut of reasons. To me that is a publicity stunt, nothing more.
It wouldn't look so good one all the mandatory lighting equipment was fitted (and I don't actually think it would be very useful). It does however prove that it is possible. |

For me to have ever considered buying a "new" one it would to have basically looked a lot like the old one, with new underpinnings and interior. I don't care what materials they make it from or what suspension set up it has. I want the angled roof over the cab, the shoulder curve, the slatted grille, round lamps, steel wheels, white roof, green body, upright windscreen.
