1994 Defender 90 300 Tdi HT Alpine White

I just don't see how this fits in a lineup or competes in the space occupied by the Defender. This design choice is so un-distinctive and unremarkable.

There are better concepts out there that won't be made. I guess I'll be keeping my 'classic' Defender forever.

2007 Defender 90 Other CSW Trident Green

What worries me is with all those soft lines

and no doubt fitted vanity mirrors in the visors

and all curvaceous with no masculine rugged angular bits it will become a woman’s car.

For those who like Welsh Mountains and narrow boats have a look at my videos and photos at..

1994 Defender 110 BMW M57 3.0 Diesel CSW Buckingham Blue

I think I like that design, just something doesn't look quite right, and I can't put my finger on it.

Still looks a bit Freelander 1 to me. Not that that is necessarily all bad, if this was aiming for mid range SUV sales, i.e somewhere below D Sport.

2008 Defender 90 Puma 2.4 XS CSW Java Black

OK, so crazy but never I am realising before that JLR plan to bring new version of Defender to market.
Thank you to show me this news but I do not like how it look which is like large Mini cooper. I like Mini cooper but not with Land Rover badge. I hope for you it is good.

It has definitely grown on me, but can never see it being a direct replacement for the Defender. Cant see it being treated like a true work horse!

I still think that if i wanted a Yeti that I would have bought one. My reason for buying the late defender was the perceived development of the replacement. I think all it needs is a Dacia badge
