It won't get very far off road with the tread pattern on those tyres! I like it but it will be a hard job to improve on the original.
If you visualise it with vertical radiator and windscreen it isn't that far from the Defender of today, and it has to have the sloping radiator to meet pedestrian safety rules 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

I'm not allowed to swear............I saw these pics last night and what a crock of s&&& What the F*&^ are they on, useless shower of ..... The problem is as I see it now is that after the world went mad for the Evoque based on the concept this Donkey will go straight to production !!!! I know all about euro 5-6 emissions and pedestrian safety and the evolving market etc...........Go compare it to the Nissan Cube

Anyone remember the coffee ad with Gareth Hunt..........Magic the beans........ 08 2.7 RRS "S"

Almost as ugly as the Toyota FJ Cruiser to which it bears an unfortunate resemblance.
Still, hope it has the reliability of a Jap jeep rather than the model which it replaces.

Is someone having a tin bath?

Please tell me this is a joke.....!!!!!

It's not great, but the nissan cube and juke are far worse!

I seem to be alone in thinking it looks great!! There are still some design cues from the old one, but brings the car nicely up to date. Let's face it the original was long overdue , the only thing I would like to see on it would be an engine that you can sort in the middle of nowhere and mechanical diffs, unfortunately I presume it will be all electric stuff MY10 TDV6 SE (debadged ), Santorini Black, Flappy paddles, Privacy Glass, 20" Stormers, Mudflaps!

The Juke is hilarious..........even funnier when theres a bloke behind the wheel, how emasculated he must feel




Add BMW X1 to that.......hilarity on ALL levels. L322 Big Daddy SUPERCHARGED 5.0 Autobiography - Here & Now!

45 others have been and gone!

Mind you the more i look at it. The more I think its quite nice, and it might improve the Defender drivers chances of pulling. Have you been on their site... Its a little bit Yawnsome !

(only kidding) .....

I await the onslaught..... 

an opinion from the colonies.....

looks to me like a short wheelbase version (RRS CHASSIS?) of a Disco 4 with revised grille and flat roof. Aside from the (show only?) wheels, it looks utilitarian and suited to the purpose of genuine offroad access and adventure. Form follows function, therefore has honest design apeal.

With a bit of luck some other technologies will migrate from the Disco/RRS. Imagine a 3.6/4.4 tdv8 reliable and troublefree version........only dreaming. my10D4se3Ltdv6 current

You are looking at the wrong site.....................and my 110 pulls well, even better with the VNT and the re-write I put on it  08 2.7 RRS "S"

The bottom one probably will not let water in like the top one, it won't break down so often as the top one and it's galvanised body won't oxidise as quickly as the top one's aluminium body............... BUT we will all love the top one forever whatever it turns out to look like and the bottom one will be forgotten about in 10 years time 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
