I like change! But when change adds something new ... This exercise is a copy of a lot of other 4x4 or Suv allready in the market ... If it goes this way it will just another 4x4(?) ... Neutral no diferent from every other make ... Regards

At the end of the day it`s got 4 wheels and has to comply with all the bull sh#t that dictates the frontal shape of modern vehicles. So you will loose the flat fronted Defender as you know it Thumbs Up

I don't mind it from the side - those front lights i don't like, but as Sonic said, LR have to comply nowadays. It'd be great of they could retain the 'feel' of the current Defender front end. I won't be selling mine any time soon though.

Yet, a brand new updated Wrangler will be clearly recognisable within the lineage. Yes, there is way too much regulatory BS these days, for everything (it's hurting innovation and economic growth), but clearly it's possible to work round it.

I'm also very concerned about how easy that vehicle will be to maintain, how reliable it is (the #1 reason why LR has lost a lot of the commercial market) and how easy it is to modify to suit needs.

Can`t be any worse than the current one Rolling Eyes
I had 2 new 110 double cabs in 2 years and both were the most unreliable vehicles i`ve ever owned Rolling Eyes

It's a 'live prototype' ...and the Evoque concept wasn't a million miles away from looking like the final production model Smile Interloper from disco3
