Prices are a bit stupid, but otherwise it looks good.

I think this Defender will hurt D5 sales

I'd rather have an MU-X with R200 000.00 worth of extras added....

I can’t wait for someone to do a shootout between this & an old Defender. It’ll be a good indication of what’s the original Defender was meant for & also a good laugh.

I've heard and read that the new Defender is the benchmark.

So what sets it apart from anything currently on the market?

Anybody that can shed some light on that?

Apparently not. All new and not another Land Rover product in new clothing. I actually like the looks but the price is a bit hectic

I know that. I just like the fact that didn't follow the D5, or RR look.
