Keeping hold of my Dynamic and possibly part ex it for the next Defender. Just hope it's not too rounded off Whistle

I'll believe that it's imminent when prototypes are genuinely out and about! Rolling Eyes I'm not convinced that even LR know what's become of the new Defender!

Yeah, I though I was going to see a genuine test mule, not a DC100 mash up.

Surely it will be around for LRs 70th. 21MY Defender 90 S 3.0 D200

Looking at the photo of "The Editor", I wonder if he was still at primary school when the DC100 was first announced Rolling Eyes

Its interesting to read, in this and other articles that have appeared over the last few days, that the stylists have finished their work and its engineering that are now working on completing it. With something like the Defender, it really ought to be the other way around!

With anything Gerry McGovern, excpectations can be set to low. But, theres always a hope that he might pull his finger out and strive to achieve mediocrity this time Wink Rolling Eyes

That first photograph is surely a Jeep with a Landrover (not Land Rover) sticker? Everyone can spread it - Anyone can catch it. Stay home - the life you save can be your own!

Yeah, I was going up to the dealers today to put £500 deposit down on a new 90, my dealers got 12 since the article came out but I’ve decided against. Underwhelmed by their latest offerings and not sure if LR is the brand for me, I no longer fit in to their customer base.

Short wheelbase RRS. Could just as easily be a mule for a new Evoque?

Looking again, they seem to have reduced the front and rear overhangs compared with the RRS

I think they have listened to their old, no longer needed ex-customers.
