There have been more details on the new Jimmy this week, plus an interesting piece comparing it with the new Defender.

So whatever the new Defender will be,..., it won’t be the gentle evolution that is afforded similar cars. Brace yourselves.

Just about sums it up, I reckon. Darren

You cannot help but like it. Let's wait and see if the new Defender gets a write up like that. Question Defender 90XS SW

The mudlife "article" seemed just like a copy and paste from a (not very well translated) press release. Did they mention it was designed for professionals... Whistle

It does say at the top that it's an article by the manufacturer. Darren

That could well be my next motor - it seems to tick all the boxes and has a nice retro look too, well done Suzuki. Interesting to see they've gone back to a gear lever for the transfer box, my last Jimny had push button controls. I've not seen a towing weight mentioned yet but the previous model would pull a ton so hopefully it'll be the same (or better). Fingers crossed there'll be a base version with steel wheels, though somehow i doubt it.
