On one hand, I think it’s pretty cool. On the other, I can’t believe how close the Defender’s design they’ve been allowed to get. I wonder whether Land Rover’s legal department have got anything to say?? Cheers, David Land Rovers of all shapes S3 onwards… Daily is a 110 V8. |

) and the front grill almost looks a bit narrow or not to scale if that makes sense.

Wow... Love it all!. Thats one sold for certain! Very similar to the original Defender but some nice changes also. Love the rear door and exterior styling. As they say a few details to be finished but this puts New Defender to Shame.. Well done Ineos.

Does look very nice. The grey cgi rendered part looks lovely. Now when’s the interior design out Searching for my first Defender...and started just as Covid hit, so talk about timing.
5 months after starting the search I found it, and here is the details |

Looks pretty good
Took the best of each of the big ones: Old Defender, Land Cruiser and Mercedes G. I liked the simplistics lines, maybe some touchs in the front will be needed. I also like the rear door (more Land Cruiser) Not bad as a start point.

How Land Rover missed the boat with their GMcG.
 What a stunner this Grenadier.
Eric You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation. http://youtu.be/yVRlSsJwD0o https://youtu.be/vmPr3oTHndg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GtzTT9Pdl0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABqKPz28e6A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLZ49Jce_n0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvAsz_ilQYU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8tMHiX9lSw https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dxwjPuHIV7I https://vimeo.com/201482507 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSixqL0iyHw |

So, Landcruiser from the rear, Defender from the side and G-Wagen from the front. I personally find the front a little too sloping for my tastes, but as an overall vehicle...sign me up!

If Land Rover had offered that as the replacement for the Defender then everybody would have gone 'Yep'. Darren

Ineos 1 JLR 0.
I'm sure that JLR weren't expecting that result. I like it Defender 90XS SW

Wow, just wow.
I'm all in. I really hope JLR don't try and muddy the water legally. They've tried once and failed. And by the very words of McGovern, their old Defender was not designed but was just form following function. The beauty of this aesthetic is very clear and very strong. The irony is that it's taken an architect to put together an engineering led design. I guess it helps if that person is not so conceited they think the design is more about them than the vehicle. Tried to grab some screenshots but it appears they are using anti~screenshot software ~ why? 
Not sure about the bonnet seems a little narrow at the front and my first thought on the rear lights was the cost to have then all integrated ; but I'm reckoning on these guys being a little bit cleverer and hoping there's modular elements inside the case. Utility bars down the side ~
Split rear doors ~
But most of all a DCPU to follow ~
I really hope we now get a few apologies from all those saying that the Defender shape had to go for legislative, ergonomic, or emissions reasons. It just needed a multi-billionaire to show what  that was.
Now who do I need to give my money to? Last edited by Supacat on 1st Jul 2020 6:23am. Edited 3 times in total |

It's not for me, as I was expecting something more like the DC100 - more modern-looking. It looks too dated for me (as does the G-Wagen). But I wish them well. They are going to sell a lot to utility companies and the like - a market Land Rover has bizarrely decided to leave. I VERY much hope they rub JLR's nose in it with their sales - and made in Britain! Now left.
