Why not simply shift production to India and/or design a vehicle to compete in the growing markets of Asia/Africa, rather than focus on regulations in EU/US?

That was only to said that already cheap 4x4 made in India by TATA are available, so I dont see any reason to develop a new 4x4 derived from the Defender there (just a though). Eduardo

I for one am really excited about the possibilities for the new Defender. If LR pull the plug altogether then we all own a piece of history that will always be cool. If on the other hand LR produce a more modern interpretation of the 110 (like a GWagen) then fantastic, hopefully something to look forward to. I just don't see much of a downside. In the meantime i will continue to totally enjoy my Defender today and let tomorrow happen when it happens.

The point is what LR will do: Leave the Defender for undevelopment countries (not our regretably Crying or Very sad ), modify the Defender to a new stage to provide a rough car for Europe and USA at a bigger price, or maybe both.


Regardless of the available funds for development, the Defender is still waaaayy cheaper than it's closest rival (in Australia at least), the 76 series Landcruiser. Surely LR have a lot of room to move in their end pricing based on the limited alternatives. If they can ultimately produce a "modern" Defender with 21st century build quality then I reckon they would be justified in hiking the price more than just a little.

At the moment Defender is marketed as the "best" 4x4 - but people often overlook that for what you get, it is also one of the cheapest! In Australia it is priced at between $50K - $55K. I honestly believe that even if it jumped up by $10K most of us would still buy one.


Id love to live in Australia then, here in Central America a 2010 Defender 130 (pick ups are the only types of cars that can be imported without airbags) costs 70 000 usd, a Land Cruiser is 52 000 usd '08 Defender 130
