JLR falling profits - Defender replacement rethink....

JLR have announced that due to falling profits the new defender replacement has been redesigned and will now go on sale in late 2019....

I think that maybe taking “greenness” and recyclability a step too far....... unless it is a very good “wrap” 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

No, I think JLR have finally twigged what drivers want and have branched out (or stick to what they know). Better that than leaf the market entirely. JLR don't want to be lumbered with a rotten product but reap the fruits of their labours. Defenders are, of course, the apple of their owners eyes and many are pining after a replacement. I'd be sycamore of the current design efforts.

A good start. Mighty oaks from acorns grow...

Took me a moment to twig what this was, but good to see them return to their roots for inspiration. Leaves little to the imagination.

I heard that they may splinter off the new Defender into a new branch of the business. If they can get enough seed money, they may start a new plant. Sounds nuts to me . . . . Current: 2020 P400e HSE Dynamic

Gone: 2016 SDV6 HSE
2012 SDV6 SE

Someone must have read that wood is a composite and therefore this is LR's version of "composite armour"... 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
