In all seriousness if this is what LR will have to offer in the years to come then an RS6 Avant coupled with an X7 will be in our future.

I always thought the original "Trek" competition was kind of a dud from a marketing/promotion standpoint, so it's strange to see Land Rover USA try to go back to that well.
I get it if Land Rover doesn't want to be associated with tobacco anymore, but the Camel Trophy is and always has been the best global off-road promotional event. Do the Camel Trophy but call it the Trek Trophy if they want, but this reality-show level competition that they are doing here isn't doing it for me.
For the soft sururbanite, yes. For the real offroader, no. Though the days of the real offroader are ending quickly.The Bronco is really gonna rain on LR’s parade........
Don't get my wrong, I'm sure the new Defender is awesome off road, but the new bronco is supposed to come with solid rear axle, automatic or manual transmission, and 33's on 17 inch wheels....For the soft sururbanite, yes.

Haha. Don’t think for a moment that’ll come in more affordable than the wrangler.Exactly!!!
And I’m pretty confident They’ll get the styling right as well. Ford tend to do pretty well with that type of stuff! Trucks and heritage vehicles...
Added to that it’ll be more affordable as well going head to head with wrangler.
I’ve been sidelining comments but had to dive in...bc of the Bronco.
This offering will be awesome, seems like Ford is listening ppl like us and they clearly want at the wrangler market share (FINALLY someone wants it!!!)....and good for them bc the Defender will be a miss for many, not all but many.
The bronco will become wrangler like, as in tons of bolt on accessories that will generate mall crawlers but then you’ll have the core segment of off-roaders doing it properly...like in the wrangler word.
Also a biggie is that bronco will just be easier on the wallet (bolt on accessories too) and it will envoke the feeling of love for the old school bronco/scouts that many have....something the defender offering isn’t doing bc it looks like could have any auto manufacturer emblem on it.
Final thought....you will be able to take the top and doors off the bronco....that alone excites people.
The formula here isn’t hard...people like wrangler “like” autos...they can make it their own easily and they scream FUN.....does the defender look fun?? Not in my eyes but when you see an D90, Wrangler, Fj40, Bronco/Scout drive by you with the top down it looks like pure simple FUN.
End rant...
