I didn't see a orange one. Yellow and gray...... but we get the point. Do we know if they will have a 5 door defender

I think it looks like ***. It looks cool and edgy, and might work branded under a different marque, but it's no Land Rover. Reminds me more of a modernized Suzuki Samurai than anything else.

To take it one step further - not just does it not look like a Land Rover, it's supposed to be a replacement for the Defender. That does not look utilitarian or capable or durable like a Defender should be. I hope they don't tarnish the name.

:mutters off dreaming of a Defender 110 hardtop in silver:

i dont mind the body, its the technology that gets me. i hope they don't get so obsessed with the tech that reliability continues to be an issue. that was the reason people like the defender, it's reliable. not because it has spiked tires and sonar capability.

Ok ok. Maybe not orange but I'd never know. I'm color blind. I think they look cool. I think they're a poor substitute for a defender and I do think functionality will suck. But Landrover is mainly concerned with making pretty cars and not really offroaders these days. (see rr evoq). The defenders are still being made in England and they're dirt cheap over there. Kills me we can't get em. So as long as i preface my statement by saying "not as a replacement to the defender, not as an offroader, and by the way I'm color blind, but I like the orange one". Haha. I'm curious to see what the price point would be because they look tiny. I hope they come off more "defender" than they do "freelander" though

They both look awesome but I have a feeling they have totally lost all off-road capability
