Interesting stuff!
Low cost spiritual models and electrifying the top end...

Just noticed that the Land Rover website has the "build" option live for the Defender 90.

The only version they have there, though, is a kitted out version that starts at $65k.

"Defender is in production", although I think it probably has been for a little while now. Still there are few tidbits about the process at Nitra in this brief article:

Those pictures aren't doing it any favors in my mind. The nose looks far too long; almost like an LR2.

Yeah agree:
Maybe not it’s best angle or shot...
One of the reasons I’m having a tough time with the the front... damn I really want to love it but have to be honest about the LR4 being better looking!

Agree too. With that tiny slit grill it looks like it has lips. Then there are those bumpy hood inlays that look like acne on the big nose.

And the way the headlights are positioned, I'm not sure if it looks like it's rolling it's eyes or just plain cross-eyed.

If the front grille/center bump-out was painted black I think it would look a lot better and less pedestrian.

Another Defender hint?
