2013 Defender 130 Puma 2.2 SW Rimini Red

So here's a thing

I reckon that if I blind folded 100 of you lot, sat you in the the new Defender (with all Defender badges removed), drove you down the road then removed your blindfold and asked you to tell me what car you were in, I reckon 99 of you would say A Defender.
Its strange but when you drive it, it feels like you are in Defender. 130's have feeling's as well you know

2009 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 SVX Station Wagon Santorini Black

Really? I had a good drive with one here at my dealer and rather thought I was driving something close to a FFRR. Certainly did not feel like a real Defender, not even like my SVX.
Eric You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.

Would it be the water squelching under your feet that gives the game away?

Doesn't that rather suggest that all the engineering, development, ride and handling was for nothing?

1991 Defender 110 200 Tdi USW Arles Blue

Thats not a good comment for the build quality because mine rattles and bangs like a dog crate falling down the stairs.
