New Defender not expected until 2019!
New Defender not expected until 2019! -
Quote:
The highly promoted and showcased DC100 concept (as seen in the sketches above) were only ever meant to be a concept. Well that’s the official line anyway. JLR devoted a huge amount of time and resources building a small fleet of these and dragging them all over the world to be shown at various car shows and media events. Then, possibly as a result of the overwhelming reaction of “No thanks!” from almost everyone who saw them they were quickly demoted to ‘concept-only’ status. Phew!......................
Although*Gerry McGovern, Land Rover’s Design Director, promised us that*“people will recognise it is a Defender” we can be*100% certain that current Defender fans will gladly argue this point until the end of time. The new Defender*will not be a rugged, utilitarian, go-anywhere, unstoppable beast that we associate with the current Defender.
