I've been following this for a little while now and today they released some images of the highly anticipated defender-like 4x4 that is due to be built in Wales (not too far from where I now live in fact).
Here's some photos. What are people's thoughts? Personally, I'm quite a fan if they stick to the 30-40k outline price they initially stated.

To me that is what JLR should have produced!

I think they have the right idea and it potentially could do very well as long as they keep it practical. They shouldn't have any problems trumping the old Defender for comfort, build quality and reliability.
But the price will be too steep for many business users. Working spec Defenders were competitively priced. We paid £18k+vat for a new Defender in 2015.

Looks like an inflated copy of my Silky Silver, Gen4 Jimny!
Strange!

Looks like the offspring from a defender meeting one of these...
That beauty is the Ssanyong Korando, nearly as ugly as the Fiat Multipla :sick:
