Broad? Yes; that's how you get attention. Incorrect? While speaking broadly; no. The Wrangler (CJ and so on) and Defender were built for utility. That's why they lasted so long with minimal change in basic design. How much engineering work has been done with either since inception compared to everything else? All they had to do was throw on some disc brakes, ABS, new engine/trans that were already on other vehicles. That's what's great about them; multipurpose, adaptive by the user, -unnecessary to redesign. Just tweak efficiency now and then. The Rubicon just has lockers and sway disconnects that people have been adding themselves, for years.
Obviously, cars are way better than ever. And we agree on who LR's are marketed to. It just sucks that they're abandoning what made them great by making a bunch of fluff mobiles that are only slightly different from each other. If the new Defender is just another of the same, that leaves the wrangler as the only thing in this country that offers basic utility, even tho it also is over priced and over equipped.
Why can't we get something that has the best drive train option, where you don't also have to purchase the up-sell luxury options? Don't get me wrong, I understand that it is a consumer economy which needs to sustain itself. I'm just frustrated with the lack of offerings of basic, reasonably priced, simple utility, and the over abundance of over engineered, over optioned, "fluff" that I just don't need. Best example aside of Defender until this year: (see pic) Why can't we get that here??
