You forgot to mention that the new Defender looks like a Honda Element.The base price of $50k, the fact that you'd be hard pressed to find one at a dealer under $70k, the fact that the tfl guys had to go through 3 of them just to get one offroad for more than 10 minutes (and it still throws check engine lights every time they take it out), the lack of suspension travel, the airbags that have the potential to strand you the second a stick gets kicked up wrong, the British reliability, the much wider sheetmetal. Why would anyone choose a new land rover other than to look tough at the country club? Even former sponsored land rover guys like ronnie Dahl recommend against it. Any vehicle with lockers and ground clearance will go every place a new defender will, and almost all will do it more reliably for far less.
