As a bit of a Defender fan myself, I am absolutely gutted. That is just an abomination.

Actually it doesnt look to bad in that video. Though what is with the passenger vehicle type wheel-to-guard clearance? Definitely going for the hard core shopping centre carpark speed hump conquering brigade...

It would likely be as capable or more capable than the Discovery which has had universal acclaim. Granted that means it's not the ideal base for a rock crawler or a comp truck any more but in terms of off road ability I'd guess it'll still do what 99% of current Defender owners want, with the added bonus that might actually be quite nice to drive on road.

I actually quite like it. With the possible range of body styles they're looking at I think it could it could be quite popular, but popular as a new fun model within the LR brand, not really as a Defender replacement......I still think they failed at that part of the brief as it just doesn't feel like a Defender any more. Wonder if they could do a base model with simple live axles and couple of diff locks instead of fancy traction control, and then strip out all of the fancy internals to create a decent load space.
