As far as I am aware landrover have no plans for replacing the defender, they are intent on following the passing fashion fad for SUVs

Yes its gone very quiet, after DC100 debacle , Defender Mk2 is in too hard basket I think !
Its a good job its ending in 2015 , as its current path was like the Terminator becoming a kindergarten teacher :cool4:

I hope they come up with something.... a few people still think a replacement is in the pipeline.....me included, but you guys are correct I bet - it will end up as an electronic fashion accessory and not a working vehicle/overlander


Land Rover confirm they are NOT giving the Defender replacement a retro look - Land Rover Parts | Range Rover Spares and Accessories


Im still in the market for a utility vehicle and not an SUV, though our Discovery 2 V8 is still having to be the jack of all trades at the moment, 7 seats to cart people around, then fold them down and load the back up with gear when I need to, but its getting long in the tooth and Im looking forward to getting another diesel....get on with it LR!!!

I agree , thats probably a better way of putting it , as they will put something out there , maybe even with a "defender" name on it , but at that point its similarity will most likely end , for a start its going to have a "freelander" type front end as current legislation more or less demands that , as it will most likely be in "car" rather than "truck " category . Wait and see I suppose, and it will most likely have the 2L , that if you want to do any serious work with , will need thrashing to get anything out of it :(
