It doesn't follow on the lines of the Series 1 to Defender Tdci range. They should simply cease making Defenders for First World countries. Move Defender to Third World countries (where it is needed) and call and badge this one by a different name.<br />They have successfully done that with Range Rover, Discovery and Freelander, and could do so with this one.<br /><br />This is one of the major arguments in my book: A Farmer's Affair - the Legend of the Land Rover Icon.Duncan Munrohttp://www.pukerau.co.nznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1493353975645313426.post-55134694743076520082011-09-09T09:06:55.841+12:002011-09-09T09:06:55.841+12:00Yes, Defender Concept seems likely, Anonymous.

Given that a "new" Defender has been mooted since the 1990s, I'm wondering whether the 100 stands not for the wheelbase but the number of concepts to get us to this point!
