I am sure that many of you have already seen this. What is this world coming to? :(

FWIW that is just obviously a concept drawing, I can tell you that we have not heard anything about any new Defender here at the dealership, but I could tell you some cool things about the new Range Sport thats coming out.

the real 2008 Defender will look a lot like 1983 Defender (25 years old and importable, unless the rules change in the next 3 years)

Want something worthwhile, build it yourself. :flipoff2:

They are building it off some Discovery platform. I am sure the soccer moms will look kewl picking up their kids in it with a trunk full of 2 buck chuck , wine spectator magazines, some patte, conspicously displayed stickers of Oversand beach permits from MV and a Black Dog sweatshirt hanging over the back seat. :mad2: :mad2:

Ford does not understand that they can make money with this as they are blinded by the poor decision making at the senior levels of LR.

2008 Defender as they describe it now :rainbow: :rainbow: :rainbow: !!!

I contacted LRNA and LR about focus groups and who within is doing the product marketing work, they are well versed at keeping me from getting to the feedback loops. If anyone has names and contacts, I will start calling , emailing and raising some hell. :vader2: :vader2:
