OMG, do you mean that LR designed the vehicle in such a way that it's not optimal for off-road use, to include the well-established desire of 4x4 enthusiast to do aftermarket modifications? I don't believe it- the Defender is the greatest 4x4 machine ever conceived of according to many people on...

I thought I had read an article that said they wore larger than factory- my bad- honestly doesn't change anything about my overall point. The Jeep is designed from the factory to accept larger tires- even figuring things like having an adjustable tire carrier- whereas the Defender isn't. The...

Ha! I do think some of this is getting a little circular. On my morning walk with my dog a new reason to hate the "Defender" came to mind though- notice all of those African Safari Press Launch pictures where the larger diameter tire is on the roof rather than mounted on the back where God...

I don't think it's in any way "low brow" to note that LR models have lost the way and become "fashion" baubles of the auto-world. Do you honestly believe that a Velar was designed by a company that is focused on life after the pavement ends? I think the Defender is actually a step back in the...

Doesn't inspire Hate/Rage with me- actually makes a lot of sense The article below might inspire some hate amongst the Green Oval faithful- looking through the list and reading all of these comments about how the current Defender is squandering the rich heritage of the name makes me think that...

Pictures will be flooding Instagram, Starbucks parking lots will be filled; Gravel driveways to Marth's Vineyard Mansions will be "explored" to a high-degree

I think this is exactly the point- sure, designs change, technologies change, purpose and intent shouldn't. A 2020 Wrangler has the same purpose and intent as the CJ7 despite it being 40 years since. When the purpose and intent changes then the vehicles is truly different- for better or worse...

If you mean the way of the LR3/4 to say that you can pick them up dirt cheap because while there is some, there's not significant aftermarket support and the secondary market doesn't trust them- yes, I'd agree, it probably will. I think it'll retain a little more resale than those- the name...

It's a real accomplishment given all of the LR Bias that exists around here. The Defender joins the rare air of cars that were hated upon arrival- the Ford Pinto and Pontiac Aztek and later editions of the Hummer come to mind of those vehicles that will join the dustbin of history- only to be...

After being shut down twice by moderators there is still enough dislike of the Defender to reach 100 pages; just sayin! :)

I think there probably were those voices- in fact there was an article that talked about the balance between engineering and design- the designers one- which is why it's a fashion bauble lacking in authenticity and character

It's a good video- I sure hope we see more of them- it would be an absolute change from years of LR history.

The video below sure beats the concrete-laden track of a well-manicured proving grounds or the wet gravel roads of an estate- I'll be waiting for your video of a modern LR doing anything close to the below.

I'd agree...different tires and it'd be a different outcome. Couldn't see the back passenger tire, but the other 3 were at full spin- some knobby tires would have put it up the hill. The blue one is gorgeous, a black top would be perfect.

The Defender proves it's off-road worthiness!!!..A lot of off-camber situations, deep water and mud!!! I'm kidding- the off-camber situations are all on concrete, the deep water is in a pit with a gravel bottom, although there is one really legitimate muddy hill- I'll let you guess how the...

The "you don't want technology" people on here who say that anyone who wants the Defender to be rugged long for the stone ages are advancing a straw man argument. There's nothing wrong with leveraging technology- what's exciting is when a company keeps incorporating new technology into a...

The Philosophical Underpinnings that built the Defender- direct quotes from the "Spiritual Leader" of LR When it comes to accessorizing your vehicle- let's readily dismiss one of the most fundamental and enjoyable aspects of owning a 4x4 as evidenced by the incredible market for such...

I love that the standard is that the LR went a few miles under conditions LR set and didn't have any issues and now we get to wipe away decades of disappointment. Yes, it's legitimate off-roading, a trying track to be sure, but you'd need to be pretty naive or maybe just really looking for...
