Meanwhile, now that the Chinese own Jaguar Land Rover, they are stealing as much intellectual property as possible for a pump and dump, just like they do with many auto manufactures that enter Chinese partnership. JLR won't last the next 10 years.

probably more reliable too, and that's saying something...

Fun facts: no start/stop... the button is replaced with an exhaust button, that makes the exhaust louder--ha!
I don’t get it - why do you need a button for that - just leave it in the loudest setting - am I missing something? ;)

They also cost a fraction of the price at $15-20,000, so I've been told.
wow!
1. cheaper
2. more reliable
3. better resale value

at those prices you could have a fleet. just swap the RR badges and watch the ladies swoon! :dance:

I started liking the new defender until somebody compared it to an element on twitter. I cant get it off my head now.

Ok it has striking similarities with the element. But the defender on that second picture looks good.
The look has definitely grown on me as well. I will say, in person I feel it's meaner looking than in pictures... Regardless, there aren't a ton of true, off-road ready vehicles. Will be interesting to see what we end up driving between the Jeep and Defender more...

looks much better with the bolt on goodies, especially the "ladder" that covers that hideous igloo looking panel in the window.

LOL, I live in a suburban town, residential neighborhood. People definitely bitch at you. I had to explain to a neighbor that just because my BMW was a little loud, doesn't mean that it was going too fast. Speed and sound are different things. People get confused.

Is the Defender's steering box steel or aluminum? :giggle:

I remember watching an extremely biased TFL video before they bought their lemon defender. They took one off roading and the thing looked like s drunk car going through rocks, wheels lifting all over the place, a total joke of a suspension. The the TFL guy says "it is just a different type of offroading" 😂. Sure, driving with 3 wheels, sometimes 2 is a different type of wheeling I guess. And whats up with the 100 cameras? I got dizzy from just looking at the dashboard.

Oh and the guy who designed it said if you want it to look like the old defender, put a bunch of accessories on it. basically, if you want it to look good. Hide my design. 😂

Then Ford says. want a IFS crawler? hold my beer. Then Jeep comes with a V8 wrangler.

Bye bye brits.

It will be PERFECT if the new Defender calls Discovery 6 instead.
