    Looks cool, I'm sure the American aftermarket will get behind the defender now that it's actually allowed to be sold there. It didn't take long for lucky 8 to build stuff for the discovery 5 and that's more upmarket. Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk

    Crikey a marketing rep now? [emoji1787] its called passion matey, jump on the AU forum to see my history if you want to investigate conspiracy theories. [emoji8] trying to discredit someone by saying they are getting paid says a lot about their side of the discussion. The same could be said...

    It's interesting it when you look at the facts though it seems that Land Rover were restricted to 500 units in the US per year before those regulations came in. And let's remember that when the "regulations" did come in the Jeep remained one star safety rated to this day. What a joke. They were...

    Haha, that's because no doubt the US car manufacturers lobby got landrover thrown out of the country in 97. They will be playing catch up now for sure. Landrover was only allowed to import 500 per year because of safety, what a joke, the jeep has the worst safety record and they pump them out...

    They obviously see what we buy here and think the new D will sell well, so sue them [emoji23]. Im guessing you don't like the defender of any year by that comment. 70 series need 50k spent just to fix fundamental issues, get it as reliable and as capable as current defender, if you want me to...

    Looks like Frankfort motor show, my guess is they will do outside and invite everyone attending, they have done a big launch event outside motor shows for most of the recent new models. Article says 130, think they mean 110 [emoji23]...

    Jeep also has a 1 star safety rating, in its current incarnation, its living on borrowed time as far as worldwide sales are concerned. Even Jimny is 3 stars. Don't get me wrong the jeep is definitely a good thing for what it is. If you look into the facts of what Land Rover had to change to...

    Agreed, I think there are trucks running on it allready? Im sure they are looking into it, hopefuly MLA can be adapted to suit if its becomes viable. There is a hydrogen fuel thread on the AU LR forum, pretty interesting. Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk

    Defender got banned from states due to how it was, it needed to change as already discussed many times above. 20k average sales was not sustainable. Check this link for stuff I've found online I'm particularly excited about no centre console and potential three seater in the front. No idea how...

    I think the big takeaway here is the sway bar, i think the subframed modern LR's usually have a active sway bar, hydraulic from memory, this doesn't have that, I'm guessing this is why it rolled so much at the Ring. So it seems they may be trying to keep it simple. Sent from my SM-G973F using...

    Interesting take and respect your opinion for sure, however would you not agree that in order for JLR to remake the defender it had to have a rock solid business case, like 100k + vehicles per year solid, now on average the current defender sold 20k per year approx, and lets not forget you...

    Was thinking the same about the 6 cylinder ingenium and hybrid, however in Australia because of our quality of fuel being not the best that bottle of Range Rover won't be available can't remember the name of it though, so if the fuel problem isn't fixed within a year, we won't be getting any...

    One thing that has been brought up on the AU forum and above that I agree with is the exhaust placement, seems pretty vulnerable. I guess there are no other options for routing and the aftermarket will come up with something. Is it a known issue with the newer IFS Land Rovers? Sent from my...
