The very fact that a Defender is compared to something based on a small-car front wheel drive platform shows just how bad the Defender is.Basically it's comparing the Bronco Sport to the Defender, so the argument is mostly bang for the buck. Not which one is hands down the better vehicle.
Nobody in his right mind would compare a Defender of old to a Ford Escape.
It also peels open the sad truth that Gerry McGovern started with peddling a Freelander and never let it go.
