Another Defender hint?

[Troy A]

Dealer says late August delivery now, barring civil unrest, earthquakes, wildfires, floods, killer hornets, locusts, zombie apocalypse, livestock pestilence, water turning to blood or other plague.

So....that probably means 2021 since 2020 seems pretty booked up with all of the above.

For the life of me, I can't figure out why Land Rover would make something look so cheap and charge so much. Everything on this looks cheap. What a POS. Whoever was in charge of this should be fired immediately.

At least they kept to the long land rover heritage of extremely poor, to the point of embarrassing. quality. Feel for the folks who shelled out money for these expecting more. I've sat in them, my guess is that anyone rolling an LR4 right now is not going to be happy. Oh, btw, BMW called, they want their dumb@$$ gear shifter back. Geez. what were they thinking?

Land Cruiser for similar money seems like so much more.

Saw 2 today at flatirons LR in Colorado. Didn’t hate it as much as I thought I would.

It looks like pickings will be slim for a while, aparently only a few hundred have been sent. I don't suppose custom orders will be shipped until the next wave makes it's wave to the US:

Here is a bit about how they are made:

Are there quirks? Are there features ?

Since when is 5.3 or 5.8 seconds 0-60 not fast in an SUV? He must be a bit jaded by selling his bi-turbo wagon.

hands down the most annoying persons i've seen this year and that says a lot. I made it about 60 secs b4 all the hand waving and silly run on syllables forced me to end the pain. Fingernails on chalkboard that dude is

This illustrates how the unique combination of refinement and utility of the LR4 will be real tough to replicate in future vehicles. The new Defender is no match for the LR4 when it comes to hauling people and stuff - for a midsize SUV. 2nd row legroom looks perhaps more spacious in the Defender, but other than that... Overall, a nice side-by-side review:

Here's hoping for the 130!
