This is one reason why the diesels are not coming to the US anytime soon:

I like it, so far, but it's early. Just downloaded the Defender brochure and found that the GVWR is over 6000 pounds. (Both the 90 and 110) For those of us that own our own business and use our trucks for work, it qualifies for that section 179 tax break.
""The challenge for our designers and engineers was to create a vehicle relevant for the demands of today’s world while capturing the essence of the original. The new Defender is respectful of its past, but it isn’t harnessed by it.”" -Gerry McGovern
I'd fire this guy on the spot if I ran the company.
no reason to fire him... you have to translate it from marketing speak to internal corporate dialog. "we wanted to harness the tent pole nature the defender brand has while building a new vehicle that meets today's carb/cafe standards which will be used for a mall crawl but marketed as rock crawl capable. also we need to fit 7 fat yanks in these tanks so they can give us money and say thanks!"
Hey can you explain this? Don't you have to use the truck more than 50% or something for business purposes? (not commuting). Maybe you do use it, aside from commuting? If so that's great!
