Makes sense.
Twin cabs are HUGE in Aussie, Holden's top selling model, taking over from the Commodore sedan, is the Colorado twin cab.
So, can we see a Defender in this configuration?,...there would be a good chance I reckon.

What am I saying... I forgot I had this.

Big stupid thing, only just fitted in my drive and I had to make sure the neighbours weren't parked close by on the street, before I could get the thing in n out.
Loved the Cummins and auto though.

It'll turn out like the silver one Rolling Eyes

Anyway, I refuse to buy any vehicle with an iPod wedged in the dash. Design fail. In fact, what the hell are they thinking?

That seems to be the norm with modern cars, spend millions designing an interior then at the last minute "oh **** we haven't fitted a radio" then just slap a "infotainment" screen on as an after thought Rolling Eyes 2000 90 TD5,galv chassis, d2 axles ,Bas remap , alisport intercooler , d2 transfer box , side windows-more to come-much more!! *GONE*

Yes indeed, badge engineering but doubtless thousands and thousands of people will shell out their hard earned based on the three pointed star out the front. Steve.
