Fun ad. But trashing your defender in 40 seconds is NOT attractive to me personally. Wonder how the suspensions did with some of that.

But if you were a bond villian I bet this would be right up your alley

I stopped watching TopGear (U.S. version) after those morons cavalierly trashed an LR4.
But there's no way I'm gonna stop watching Bond flicks. At least they are more stylish about it when they trash great rides.
It wasn't too long ago that "As slow as possible, as fast as necessary" was the Land Rover credo. Now all the ads have LR's racing up and down mountains, stairs, jumping etc...Entertaining but pretty much the exact opposite of real 4 wheeling. Whatever sells I guess.

That LR4 belonged to the owner of Expo Portal, and he commented on the damage from that jump. It was actually very minimal, the truck took it like a champ.
IIRC, he had to replace some of the plastic clips that secure the fender flares and get an alignment, and that was it.
I agree those Top Gear guys were idiots, but in totality, it was a pretty good endorsement of the LR4.
The more I see of the current Defender, the more I think my LR4 will be my only LR, unless I get a classic Defender as a toy or the wife wants a RR for mom duties
The next LR commercial will be pulling a couch through the desert .............

No different than the Lexus, Porsche, or BMW ads that show their cars racing up twisty mountain passes which convinces people to buy them so that they can drive at 5mph in bumper-to-bumper traffic for 2h/day in their commute. Their unit sales have increased year over year for over a decade using the new marketing and vehicles so they're doing something right, whether previous owners agree with it or not.
