Since there's no activity at the Defender section, I would like to post here. I came across this picture from a group in facebook.



Is this a modified or remake of the Defender? It looks beautiful. It has, I think LR3 headlights and grill.

 

Sorry to disappoint, but that is concept art....for this, 2009 Ford Bronco

 

Take a CLOSE look at the TWO fog lights under the winch. They are not the same size. AND the angle of the pas side light is not right. That gives it away.

 

your right, maybe someone photoshoped it. It looks awesome though.

 

Thats tiny for a Bronco. I loved them though, friend had one that was a beast. I had an old Scout, that was pretty good too. But then you had to in Alaska in the middle on nowhere.

 

Yep, a product of photoshop for sure. They used Range Rover (or the new LR4) lights and an LR grill. Would be awesome, but i've read some reports that the Defender may be in hot water.

And by hot water, I mean ruined. With Gerry McGovern in the design booth at Land Rover i feel its all going in the wrong direction. You can throw LR roots right out the window. Not to mention, the new 2013 regulations will really hurt LR because now they have to follow a bunch of silly rules in order to be "legal". They are going to have to focus meeting those regulations rather than focusing on whats really important to people like us... its ROOTS of go-anywhere, adventure, ect.

 

I left out that the Defender may be phased out because of the 2013 regulations. Supossedly LR is worked on its replacement, but i'll let you take what you want from this story:

If they wanted to sell more than 24,000 of them a year they need to bring them to the US market.

 

****, I'd buy 24,000 of them myself if I had the money.

 

I agree 100%, but 2013 looms and LR has alot of work to make their fleet meet the regulations, I think a US defender is at the back of the planning book. I would do anything for a new defender, and I know there is a market here in the US, it may not be a camry size market, but a market none the less.
