Another Defender hint?

[iconoclast]

If I could get a diesel, that would be fine.

Considering how poorly received all the Td6 products are here... I would not be surprised if JLR discontinues that offering across all models like it's rivals have already.

Top Gear just posted more info.

seems air suspension will be an option not default.

Options will vary widely by country. I wouldn't assume that is true for us.

I just can't see ordering one without the air struts (they're pretty reliable and superior both on and off-road), but I can't shake the feeling that ordering the air struts will also require paying for some bougie luxury crap that I don't want.

It must have been "Press Rides in the New Defender" week - he are two other articles covering much of the same things:

“Yes, you can spec your new Defender on 18s. But you won’t, because it’s also available on wheels up to 22 inches across.”

22s will be favored by the urban crowd? [emoji2958]

 

[ryanjl]

Maybe used 18" aluminum wheels will be on the used market, the same as 17" Jeep Rubicon rims are now when Johnnie Webwheeler upgrades to 22" Rockstar Rims?

Wow. I don’t know how I missed that.
