Pretty cool that it rolled over and just kept going.So what did I learn from this commercial. The General Lee would have made a capable off-roader.
Nice ad tie in with the new 007 movie as well.

Not sure how he managed that without breaking the windshield. And I wonder how much they paid for that product placement.
Maybe not much? Maybe a lot? Rovers have been in all the bond movies (pretty sure, or at least most). And remember how much shit they caught when they replaced the Aston Martins with BMWs? The Brits have to stay British.And I wonder how much they paid for that product placement.
If you look at the windshield just after the crash, you can see that it's plexi or similar. There is actually a gap where it moved in the frameNot sure how he managed that without breaking the windshield. And I wonder how much they paid for that product placement.

Another thing to keep in mind is that for a lot of these, once the sensors are in place for some of them, the rest can be done at no cost; i.e., it's software with no marginal cost. So there's no penalty to add them as standard equipment.Emergency Braking may save a distracted driver's butt on a highway and my guess is that technology will eventually become commonplace on every vehicle, like ABS. I assume you will be able to turn off some of those gizmos, especially the ones of the potentially annoying variety like Lane Keep Assist, Traffic Sign Recognition and Adaptive Speed limiter. On the other hand, as gimmicky as they sound on paper, some new features such as those built into the 3D Surround camera (ClearSight, aka the "transparent hood" camera view) could actually turn out to be useful off road.

Land Rover does not reveal how many new-age Defender models it has sold so far but says more than 1.21 million people have configured their dream Defender on the Land Rover website since the off-roader’s premiere at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 2019
Agreed yet somewhat represents general interest in it.They probably think a lot of people really want every option. Lol. Builds online in the configurator is a hilarious stat.
Yep however wonder what the % is overall as guessing many like me check out various marques for the fun of it.I'd like to see the conversion rate, expressed as a percentage, of how many "configurations" turn into sales. As of today it's probably less than 1%.
Yeah I was at a TN dealer last week and they anticipated having them in the showroom in May. I don’t imagine you’re going to see many 55k models though. After the initial sales data come through I’ll bet they get retrofitted with more options.I am sure someone has talked to LRNA about this and perhaps brought it up in the thread, but it seems they won't do much about orders at least in CO until May. Don't know how long you will wait. For some reason, just a guess. They will start with highly optioned vehicles so you will have to wait for a 55k 110.
Would love to see a video but this seems legit http://instagr.am/p/B9LjjWEpyCA/
