So they are going to call it the Defender but it will be a Disco.
Thats to bad, it will be just like buying a H3 when you could have bought a Tahoe.

"The sales of Defender annually reached between 20,000 and 24,000 units in the past, but to compensate for the development cost for a replacement, the new model must hit sales numbers reaching 40,000."

If they built a model that looks just like the old one, but was up to current code, and released it here in the US, they'd make up that gap easily.

And tons of insane discos would suddenly appear on the market.

The parts for that new defender are going to be insane. I will stick with the DI and DII.

What will not help the new Defender’s acceptance with the loyalists is that it will likely be based on the Discovery in order to reduce costs. This will include trading in the coil spring suspension for an independent setup that may include air bags for adjusting ride height.
WTF... way to f*ck over the loyalist's!!!
