This entirely sums up my thoughts - the new 'Defender' is for netiher the Farmer or the Countryman and nor is it for general industrial use so therefore ignores the core principles of Defender. It's a nice car, but it's not a Defender. Â Â 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex Member Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Quote Its amazing to me how gullible the audience can be if they enjoy a particular brand. The brand can do no wrong. I call it brand blindness. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbocharger Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 They'll have done their research, and I'm sure it'll sell. I quite like it 😳 Let me ask - if it wasn't branded 'Defender', would that be ok? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I quite like it 😳 Let me ask - if it wasn't branded 'Defender', would that be ok? I think it will sell. Well initially, but for how long? And more importantly at what cost of other models in the LR line up? I know a few people lined up to get the new Defender. Each and everyone of them is trading in either an RRS or Disco for it. I don't know a single person trading in an old Defender for a new one. And yes, completely it is the wrong name on the wrong vehicle. Done for only one reason - marketing and selling out the brand and pissing off the loyal following. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

missingsid Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Since they can't really sell them right now and a dealer launch is impossible, I think the best thing they coiuld do is to give the sales vehicles to response units to assist the emergency services or delivering food etc. to high risk people?
