what is with the stupid short windows? the reason i like rovers, is the ability to see out of the vehicle.

I see it as a good development, at least in the right direction.
The few things that need to change for balance would likely happen in a production unit anyways, like a taller side door glass. I like the front grill, particularly the upright position. The bonnet needs a smoothed, more rounded transition to the wings. The fender openings could be a bit higher on the panel, opened up a bit, allowing for an even larger tire and reducing the overall height of the sheetmetal in that area. I like the roofline, which speaks to the legacy of the product, including the side glass. Approach and departure look great. I really like the utility (van) sides without the glass.
This is a huge improvement from the DC100.
No doubt it will have independent front and rear, but it will also likely have the cross-linked air suspension and three locking diffs. I can see it in all white, front bull-bar, winch, sliders, 33" tires.
The DC100 I would not buy - this I would. Praying for the 3.0L twin turbo diesel. . .

99% better than the beyond cruddy DC100 but still needs a heck of a huge final 1%. What a relief though that the DC100 is hopefully DOA. At least it looks like a Land Rover on the outside overall even if the innards aren't truly what we all want to see.

Not a Land Rover concept. It came from another designer...

How the heck did some bozos Facebook render make so much of a stir across the interwebs?

I hope they make it.
It is kind of like the 1980-90s Bronco and Blazers? With the back part of the roof being removable and the fixed roof over the driver.
