Says that the Commercial version will cost £35,000; which doesn't seem to bad when you compare it to Hiluxes etc

Or broadly double what the old model cost

You can get an invincible for 21k now.

A poor comparison, where can you buy a new pick up for £17,500 these days?

Bare in mind 35k is list price, and invincible is not 21k list

£35k for poverty spec I would imagine, most Pickups with be decent spec for £20-25k.

Except it will be a 90 commercial that will be £35k, so 2 door. Can get a top of range twincab pick up for a lot less.

That's not a defender, that's a disco!

First things first.
On the plus side: I think it looks great, really like the styling. Plenty of power. Looks comfortable. I have 2 defenders and love them. I would like one of these too.
However
Negatives: Way, Way to expensive. For a family car it’s big Disco money and atleast 10k more than disco sport, which is probably the biggest car in it’s price range (£35-40k). No one with a family and a brain cell will spend £35k on a 2 door car.
When it comes to commercials, well I bought a brand new double cab navara Tekna last month with truckman back, tow bar and lined for £24500. That will be at least £20k less than the equivalent defender!

So it’s an expensive family car that isn’t as good as its own brand competitors, OR it’s a very good commercial vehicle that is way too expensive compared to its competitors.

Will it sell? Yes, of course it will, but that doesn’t mask its problems

35 k is for bottom of the range , invincable is top of the range .

That's not a defender, that's a disco!

It’s a pretender

No chassis = Hairdressers car.

Looks sh!t compared to the old defenders

You can buy a 7 seat Ssanyong Rexton with 7 year 150k mile warranty Merc derived engines and a Merc 7 speed auto-box for this type of money!

Oh and has a chassis too. May not ride anything like a Defender to be fair but still a tempting choice
