I watched the video, and I hate to say it but-I was very impressed-I like it better than the current "new body" style Range Rover-It really reminds me more of the Classic, but with "modern" features.

***exact thought can be found under the disco tech section-topic-"look at this flex"

I'ma stay hush because I like it. I watched the video over and over and over.

Some of you may not understand this analogy, but I'm going to write it anyway.

When I was in elementary school, my mom and dad would always remind me to change into my play clothes before I went outside and got the "new" clothes all messy and torn-Even my "new" tennis shoes had to be worn. Now my parents didn't make me change because "new" clothes couldn't be purchased, but because there were those times I needed to appear neat and decent-ie-School pictures, dinner on the weekends etc.
I enjoyed getting new clothes every now and then, but I always looked forward to the day when my "new" clothes were turned into my play clothes, including my "cool" tennis shoes.

Now the point to this is to remind many of us that its always time sometimes to think outside of the box-we are enjoying what we have turned our current Rovers into, Don't we? well, think like this-if we could afford it, wouldn't we think of the new Rover as that great pair of shoes that one day will be "our play shoes"-

O I sit and wonder sometimes if the "The Series guys" back in their day welcomed the "Classic Range Rover with raised eye brows- Until that actullay got behind the wheel and really understood that the Range Rover was a leap of updated comfort and would allow them different options of wheeling I'm sure the were converted- hell, look at the series owner of today-I'm sure some of them own Disco I's and II's, and yes I remember when the DiscoI appeared, lot of haters emerged-but-look, a web page devoted to the Disco-

I took this time to just point out why I really can't speak bad about the "Highly Anticipated Range Rover"-it is far superior to all the other CRAPSUV's that are out today, and even if some of the technology that we are now comfortable with has been advanced for this model, I welcome the change, and I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE ONE PASS ME BY.
Visit the LANDROVER USA SITE and register for a pass code to see the clever marketing of this new ROVER.

Now after I've spent the day on the ROCKS and in the MUD, in my HEAVY DUTY CLASSIC- Gee, it sure would be real nice to wheel this thing to the cheapest Restuarant in town to take the family to dinner in-"
Oh, I'll have the childs dinner please"

Comments please, and lets focus on the future(I TRY TO) and think-would you want to settle for something less nicer than this to travel in-I doubt it-Oh well there is always the current Bently.

p.s. what are the current D-90 owners going to say when and if the "new" Defender hits the shores- probably the same Negative talk- people everything must change. And I really don't think if the plant had stayed in "SolHill" it(LAND ROVER) wouldn't have evolved to look this good-they would've had the same joy in creating what we have here today-

THESE ARE JUST MY THOUGHTS-nothing to get huffy and puffy about.

In terms of a new Defender, two days ago Land Rover announced a $US 3.6 billion investment to develop new vehicles, according to a mention in an article in the Wall Street _Journal_.

That's all I know about this, having not had time to see if anything's been posted on the Internet about this interesting news.
