Part five....

Rgds. Bill Filters are in fact so good that in certain circumstances, when the ambient air is already polluted, a diesel car will tend to extract more particles from the air than it emits. Emissions Analytics worked with........etc etc

He who dies with the most toys wins...

Sounds encouraging based on that video, I know its all part of the marketing effort but its working! Looking forward to seeing and hearing more on this over the next year or so. RR Vogue TDV8 Grey/Black

Anyone on here buying one?

I’ve changed my mind on this car in the last two years and his dishonouring his agreement to build in Wales hasn’t helped.

I’ll treat this car with the same contempt as any other clone of another manufacturer’s design.

In 2020 this was meant to cost between £30,000 and £45,000.

Now the prices are out it's starting from £49,000

I thought the whole point was that it was meant to be cheap(ish). For that price if I were looking, despite their flaws I'd buy a Defender as at least the brand are known and have plenty of dealers around to sort issues.

Am amazed it's so expensive. 2002 4.6 Vogue SE - Alveston Red with Lightstone Leather

CO2 and MPG numbers are 'interesting'.....

"The CO2 emission (Diesel – 308g/km, Petrol – 346g/km) and fuel consumption (Diesel – 23.9mpg, Petrol – 18.5mpg) figures quoted by INEOS are Combined Cycle estimates. Where a range is quoted, the low figure is from a base vehicle, high from fully optioned vehicle with off-road tyres. Passenger (M1) vehicles are tested with 15% of payload. Commercial (N1) vehicles are tested with 28% of payload (Bodystyle and powertrain availability may vary by market). These figures may not reflect real world driving conditions, which will depend upon a number of factors including variations in weather, driving styles, vehicle load and accessories fitted (post-registration).
Final CO2 emissions figures and resulting associated pricing will be confirmed by INEOS Automotive or your selected Retail Partner prior to order confirmation. Tests will be performed in accordance with legislation in force at the time of type approval.'

Was visiting my brother today near Swansea and popped into the one S.Wales garage that has the franchise as they had a prototype there.

Looks really nice up close, had a good 20 mins looking over it, very utilitarian look and feel.

Also like the look and feel of the cabin, love all the buttons

They’re awful.

If imagine they will be very much like marmite  Iggy/Ieuan

1960 Series 2 88" (No idea why I sold it!)

a cheap clone of the defender that mated with the old ssang yong korando.
That plus the smug face of hamilton all over it, doesn't work for me...

Christ, that's a mess - there's no cohesion, it's like the various key elements were designed in isolation.

IMO it's going to end up lonely and unloved like a ginger stepchild.

Or driven by one.

I know it’s meant to be utilitarian, but do the interior plastics feel as plasticky and tacky as they look?
