This makes the new defender look dull

[sg66]

It's a tad pricey and shouty but I would

 

[roofman]

It has not got 8 big slugs of alloy pumping up and down burning 50 million year old fish so not on my want list...

 

[pedrobedro]

It will be about 7 feet wide so no use round here.

 

[brightspark]

just think when they become available all the rich housewives taking the kids to the private schools in one its bad enough now with em in 4x4 that they cant drive

Bet the price is going to be exciting too.

 

[Barking Mat]

Yeah, but damn, it's ugly as sin.

That’s fallen out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down

ha...around here it wont be rich housewives and private schools................it'll be everyone driving them, just adding "only an extra £50" to their monthly buy-now never-own, PCP plans, driving the 200yds to the local primary school...

Well someone likes it, first batch sold out in 10mins.

I like that. Frightened to look at the price though. Disappointed that the front lights don’t do the Kit thing from nightrider

I don't mind the look but I always wonder where I would charge it up on a run, here in Australia, electric charging stations seem to be few and far between and distances to travel are quite long. The other issue is that it would need to be converted it to right hand drive and that would significantly bump up the price here.

 

[Tangledfeet]

That is all kinds of ugly.

Now this, on the other hand... in an instant if I had to have an electric alternative to my lifelong object of desire, the G-Wagon:

"Automatic lane changing on compatible roads"...define 'compatible' in this context. Ones with sensors along the entire stretch? How would a driver know when it was safe to engage the function?

I think I'll pass on this one, I'd need a step ladder and safety harness to get aboard anyway...

The technical specification of that is very impressive irrespective of whether or not it is easy on the eye (I actually don’t dislike it)
Things like 1000bhp, 0-60 in 3 seconds, 4 wheel steering, crab mode, extensive height adjustment etc, the list is very long. It perks my interest because many of the features wouldn’t be possible on traditional drivetrains. Obviously it’s got a powerful motor on each corner. The only concern would be the reliability of all those electrical gubbins, certainly won’t be as robust as the earlier versions although the range will probably be similar. Would just need to drag a genny round with you...

Quite a machine!! But anyone claiming it's environmentally friendly should be terminated.

I’ve got a tin of green paint, that’ll make it very environmentally friendly

USA likes it's trucks and useful features will filter into other products.

When I am retired haha, I always thought I could fill my time in driving slowly round country lanes in a tank, this would be similar just a but more comfortable
