A bloke who regularly provides a specific service to the JLR product launch events told me that 'the CEO' mentioned the new defender in a discussion regarding this year's event. Not specifically, but not unspecificly either. So yeah, nothing really to see or hear here. But..... maybe ? Solved the bowel problem, working on the consonants...

2009 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 SVX Station Wagon Santorini Black

GMcG advocated this recently in Barcelona. All FWIW of course...
http://www.thedrive.com/news/11801/new-lan...-boss-says You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.

McGovern Just said its "not far away"

http://www.motortrend.com/news/new-land-ro...sign-boss/

But who knows what that means?

I guess a mix of DC100 and D5 kinda makes sense. Im just gonna wait and see.
But this silhouette makes sense.

Then again, McGovern said earlier this year �it�s going to be nothing like those bloomin� concept cars (DC100) we showed a few years go, because we took the Mick with those.�

2015 Defender 110 Puma 2.2 XS CSW Aintree Green

�The Defenders, when they come, there will be a whole family of them, and ff you look at where we currently are and where we could be in six or seven years time, it�s a massive shift,� McGovern said.

Six or seven years form now???

You've waited three years, what does another seven matter?

My guess is it'll just look like a fat car like those Kia's and D5's just lifted a bit.

Probably hardly anything you can do with it yourself repairs wise and probably �35 - 38k which is much much more than the original. ____\We|Will|Win/___

Please Mr McGovern, could you make it look just ever so slightly different to every other Land Rover model you have designed?

Spoke with a relative tonight who works at JLR and he said the new Defender will be launched at the end of next year.

And it will have a hybrid version.
