My dealers (Beadles, Sidcup) advised me today that they will not have any 90's in their showroom until 2021.

So not only is there a step in the load space, even the seat backs are at an angle and don't fold flat, what a shame from a design perspective for a £40K-£75K car.

Is that a dog/luggage guard behind the front seats? |

Yeah that’s the net or there’s the solid metal guard.

looks a really strange design, the manual d3/4 rear seat mechanisms worked really well why they didn't just utilise that I don't know. 110 MY23.5 X Dynamic HSE

Looks sooo much better without the stupid square thingy on the window. Not a fan of the black wheels though.

That's interesting - I was thinking the opposite. It's all bonnet and doors with proportionally not enough length behind the B pillar.

I’m with you on that! If the door was shorter i think it would look ok but the doors as they are make the rear quarter look too short. Ray My build thread http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic17615.html |

Amazing how much better it looks without the Gerry garnish. Wish you could option it off the 110.

The silver one looks goofy, the wheels look to big and i’m not a fan of masai type panoramic glass on a Defender (not a fan...being polite), so the floating panel on the green one actually makes it look a heap better.
My choice... pangea green, white steelies. As a daily i’d reflect my choices now... a 90 for me, knowing full well a 110 is a far more practical choice. |

its a poor reflection of the model's heritage when it doesnt have the diagonal C pillar of the original Freelander.
