A lot of the brands value is derived from being British.
They’re moving the production out of the UK.
hose among us who’ve been waiting for the next generation to break cover ever since the old-school Defender bowed out of production at the beginning of 2016 will be glad to hear Land Rover will livestream the reveal event. Needless to say, Motor1.com will have the livestream up and running a few hours before it starts, with the British marque saying the event will begin at 9:50 AM CEST / 7:50 AM GMT / 3:50 AM Eastern Time.
This hard core group of “enthusiasts” approves.
Thinking what has changed with their target customer base has now changed the product offering as well.Good god. Sad what become of this company.
They needed to make this thing eat at the Jeep Wranglers, Jeep Grand Cherokees
Good god. Sad what's become of this company.
Where was all the screaming when the Range Rover has gone from this...

Would I prefer a Defender that looks like a Defender....hell yeah! But time moves on. We either learn to adapt or get run over.
No screaming necessary imho.
Nice transition over the decades.
Same can be said with the 4 door version.
The Discovery has been turned into a station wagon, so if the Defender is to replace it and take LR somewhat back to its roots so be it. That said this could have all been done a lot better, and loaded Wranglers topping out at 50k+ and almost 70k pickup trucks leads one to believe there's a market for an earlier Defender type vehicle here.
I would imagine there’s celebration at their HQ over the Defender II.I'm sure those men and women have been watching the Defender roll-out like hawks.
Good article. Thx for sharing.
