Configuring one online is not the same as actually being available, as you noticed. Theory vs reality. The dealerships know people don't shop there for off-road vehicles anymore. No 2020 JLR customer knows or cares what an electronic active differential is. I guess it's still Bill's fault for...

JLR allocates all the off-road features to the big $$$ chic trim level (which conversely doesn't get 18" wheels) but it's Bill's fault. Right. They all have plenty of torque. Far less powerful engines have propelled vehicles to explore the planet and hit every technical trail possible for...

Ouch.

There's lies, damned lies, but then there's Land Rover Reliability statistics.

You just injected at least fifty fresh pages of life into this thread.

Here we go. Queue the bros running around at extreme control-arm angles.

Your trust in these professionals and wholesale adoption of this corporate product is naive. I've witnessed the inner workings at JLR and declined opportunities to work with them after being sorely disappointed in their organizational disfunctionality and their cultural disconnect from reality...

Keep going. Every bit makes it more clear you don't have a clue how any of this works.

You don't get it. Tech isn't the problem. It's how it's used and packaged. Anyways, how does JLR passing off what is objectively an LR5 with fake Defender styling, as an honest attempt at a Defender, have anything to do with tech? It doesn't.

I believe you've confused arbitrary badges and outrage, although that is the point of this thread, with recognizing overwhelming evidence of correlation.

That it's an LR5 with a few Defender styling gimmicks.

Maybe, just maybe, one should probably familiarize themselves with the basics before demonstrating off-road capability for millions of viewers. Unsurprisingly, the latest review contained very little focus on utility and off-road. At least it's a nice car for the masses.

Center Diff Lock.

Just the kind of review you expect from a guy who can't operate a CDL.

Demonstrating what anyone with any sense knew months ago..

Wrangler doesn't hold a candle to the original's galvanic corrosion potential.

Looks very plastic, and useless either way. To be fair, LR and others have been up to these styling gimmicks for decades.

Oh dear. Wow.

Looks like it's trying to out-ugly its domesticated competition. Let's hope it improves when the Halloween costume comes off.

More like plastic trim.
