Quite like the look of it.
Agree it definitely doesn't look rugged like its predecessor.
Can't see many selling as workhorses it'll just be another luxury SUV. 2011 (MY12) 4.4 TDV8 Vogue

Can't be a defender. Where's the pop rivets?!

LR are on the proverbial hiding to nothing with this project, wouldn't matter what they did there'll be loads of people who won't like it. Drives:

Looks like a jap motor like a shogun or a trooper or a patrol rather than a landy..... Current: RR L322 2010
Past: RR L405 2017, RR L322 2012, 2008 & 2004, 2018 D5, 2016 Defender, 2011 D4, a few Disco2s, P38, RR Classic, couple of Disco1's, SIII SWB

And such vehicles are bought by the boatload all over the world.... I like it and can’t wait to see it in the flesh. I doubt LR are going to pitch to the ‘farmer and utility’ market though. That ship sailed with the LT100, HiLux and others.

Very much waiting to see it for real, but it’s good to see the alpine windows, the recognisable side windows, the square shape and it might indicate a welcome return to form, particularly after one real duffer over the last 5 years

Not sure if the wide protruding wheel arches are going to make the car too wide, or the cabin too narrow. Let’s hope they’ve got it about right, but they’re going to be difficult to place in narrow gaps. Maybe, like the Real Thing, it’ll look better with a patina of bashes and scrapes

Now it has been revealed in the flesh, I am still unsure on it..

Cheaper than I thought 🤣

Looks a bit "Shogun" to me. 2003 Range Rover Vogue TD6

I think the base spec looks better. Definitely more defender like anyway.

Have they released a price list yet?

I've been playing with the configurator on the L-R website, great fun! My business partner has gone one further and ordered a D240, 110, in Pangea Green for delivery 'in the spring.' Drives:
