I can see us maybe trying one, preferably a high level hybrid (no chance of a complete EV just yet a while), I kinda like the squared off more traditional design than all the 4x4 jelly moulds around.

Should be a very nice “command” driving position also Thumbs Up Regards

Lovely i6 has now gone, but not me......

Please let me know if anything in my post offends you, as I may wish to offend you again......

Well I’m shocked that no ones mentioned the fact the Defender won’t be made with a manual transmission anymore. IIRC the only model offered with an auto box was the 50th anniversary models. MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior

In yesterday's Telegraph, the new Defender was voted in the top 5 at this week's Frankfurt Motor Show - the others were the VW ID3, Porsche Taycan, Vauxhall Corsa and BMW i4
Seems the production team were 'moved to tears' by the cars reception.

It's about time the Defender went auto as coupled with all the off road driving aids the auto is far superior to manual and better to drive on road. But of course each to his own and if you like manuals then it is a bit dissapointing for you.

I like the overall look of it....BUT......I do hope that massive plastic “roo bar” on the front is optional.......looks like a Carlos Fandango special..... Rolling with laughter Regards

Perhaps it replaces the DS bonnet airbag, cheaper and just as effective, asuming the DS airbag is effective and not a gimmick. my PC is slightly to the right of Genghis

United Kingdom 2015 Freelander 2 SD4 SE Auto Orkney Grey

£50k for a relative decent spec is way to rich for me so all the posturing about this and that is academic for the vast majority of interested folk. I really can't see many farmers throwing a dead ewe into the back nor driving across a deep ploughed field in their very expensive motor. Notwithstanding their wives might be happy on the school run . 😊 MY 09 GS manual in Lago Grey, Wood Co arm rest and side bumper strips - now sold.
