Being an old armrest guy I didn’t consider that on the 110 and don’t think it was an option. I guess a dog Mike like that layout as well but it just depends on what you are using the Defender for. This is what I like in that we could make the vehicle fit our different use cases. I have too many highway miles planned so that drove much of my thinking.

Some nice pics there of various Defender builds. That's one of the better Pangea greens I've seen. I haven't been a big pangea fan since I saw one first hand on the lot but that one there at the bottom with the blacked out roof, the wheel arches and steelies looks very cool. For a while there all of my builds had the arches but then I reconsidered, they aren't a bargain at $780 by any means, plus installation isn't included so altogether it's probably $900 USD for those things. By the way, my local dealer replied back, $895 for the maintenance plan on the P300 engine. I will be adding that. He said they won't have any 90s for a couple more months. I'm in no rush though. At crunch time I know I'm going to start throwing in the kitchen sink and spending too much, but I feel like I reach a point where it's like I'm spending this much I might as well spend another little bit more for this and that.

Stopped at the dealership on my way home after dropping off my sons. They have a lot of 2020 Defenders on the lot here, the inventory says 14 and I would say at least 8 or 9 were on the lot. One was a Defender X with that orange interior, sharp looking but over 80k for one of those. I will say eiger gray IMO looks a lot nicer in person than online in the builder. I'm going to drop silver with the black pack and just go with the eiger.

There's an example of the cabin walk-through about four pics down on this page https://www.caradvice.com.au/792391/...over-defender/

This is in Rochester NY. I stop by every couple of weeks on a Sunday afternoon to browse the lot, they're closed then but that's ok. Several weeks ago I thought they had 4 or 5 Defenders but I didn't notice they have about six more of them parked on the side of the lot. One was black which looks nice too, I've been driving black vehicles for awhile now though so I'm kind of looking for a change. I was eager to see the 18 inch dark gray satin wheels in person but didn't see any. Several had the white steelies. Does anyone out here have the 18 inch dark gray stain five spokes and can post a pic or two?

My LR4 is Causeway Gray, which is very close to Carpathian. It does look almost black until in bright sunlight and you can see all the metallic flecks in it. I would have ordered Carpathian but I just needed a change after 8 years.
