This thing is huge
If we didn’t need the parts supply, I’d be glad to see JLR crash and burn.
Me too, planning on replacing my LR3 with this. My goal is absolute base model + sasquach (with 3 pedals)Super impressed with the styling. I have a deposit put down on one, starting to look forward to it.
They are very quickly stopping the supply of all Defender parts...
Is that a bad thing?
It seems like companies like RN (with the LHD dash parts and NAS ST cae they came out with recently) and other suppliers you could make most of a Defender with non-LR made items.
This is the new way of selling stuff. Instead of a multimillion dollar product rollout, they get influencers to do a check out of a prototype and post it on their socials. Costs Ford like nothing and builds product buzz. Super skeev, but insanely effective.This thing is huge

There are a lot of parts that are too complex for an aftermarket supplier to produce in low quantities. I suppose it is okay for the uber rich NAS truck owners to pay insane money for parts, but normal people that just use them as intended will struggle to keep them going at some point.
IMO it was designed like this on purpose because they intended to target a different customer than what the original defender was targeting. People like this ->I still can't believe Rover couldn't figure out how to keep the new Defender an actual Defender. In general, I like the new Defender, but it just misses the mark on the style and overall "toughness" factor that would have made it a bullseye in this current market. Ford has done it. Toyota has. Mercedes has. Jeep has. It just keeps boggling the mind.
