It's the same every time.
Evoke.....'kin orrible, not a true Land Rover.
Freelander....'kin orrible, not a true Land Rover.
Discovery....'kin orrilbe, not a true Land Rover.
New Defender blah,blah,blah,blah.

I say good on 'em and the best of luck, there designed by Land Rover, built by Land Rover and most importantly sold by Land Rover.
I live not far from Gaydon and there a massive employer round here and also do a lot for the local community.
Just because one person doesn't like the look of a car does not mean it's ****.

Well done Land Rover, keep 'em coming!

All the cars are very good at what they were built for, true Land Rovers. The new Defender concept looks like a pile of ****e and in no way any use what so ever apart from going to the hairdressers in.

And you base this on looks only as nobody other than landrover have seen it at work yet. Yip it dose look awful though but untill we see it at work or what it is like compared to a defender we can not comment much to it.

From what I have read, those pictures are just a starting point. They still have four years of development time left.

Silly things like those wheels will never make it onto the final vehicle, they're just there to attract attention to the concept. In all likelyhood the real thing will have steel wheels, at least the base model will anyway.

The basic shape of the vehicle looks fine to me -- I don't see what the fuss is about?

It's still got 4 years 'design journey' ahead of it, but there's no need to worry. Land Rover will remember what Defenders are used for, after the massive wave of negative feedback on the design.

Also, in your post, you state that Discos aren't true Land Rovers, yet they are extremely capable off-road?
