Even if they make it, I bet they will only sell the super pricey one in US.I think they'll have an upscale version, because it's Land Rover, and they'll have a stripped down version because they need it to be a volume seller in order to make the business case.
In the Middle East there is an xtreme4.5L V8 turbo diesel engine with a 5-speed manual transmission
Hell Yes!

If it performs, who cares?Dork city. What a joke. Sometimes it boggles my mind how obviously wrong corporations can get things. They needed a body on frame, halo vehicle, like the JL, to show they are still a real off-road company. You want to keep all others unibody? Fine. But you have to have 1 true off roader, not some squishy unibody that uses "space age software" to do similar things to the old one.
They blew it. Not even in the same zip code as the right answer.
I'd rather have real capability than the machine-emulated version of capability. And it won't perform any better than any other soft roader, like a Land Cruiser, etc. Nothing can touch the Jeep at this point. The old defender was a spirit animal, this version is just another grocery getter that can ford puddles.If it performs, who cares?
This is what the Discovery should have looked like...New Defender
Agree, i dont think anyone would have heartburn over this as a discovery. Its juts not a defender.This is what the Discovery should have looked like...
I remember people saying the exact same thing when land rover switched to coils on the defender. Jeep was only 10 years late with that one on the wrangler.I'd rather have real capability than the machine-emulated version of capability.
