"The Wife" has a Jeep Rubicon JL, and it really is what a classic Defender would look like if Land Rover had continued to update it to keep up with the times, and would be what I would own for everything I use my Defender for if I had "sensible common sense" instead of "exquisitely refined taste" and a preference for the vintage-classice, instead of the 'merely contempoary.' Evaluated as a modern car, the interior of the JL is vastly improved versus the JK or all of our Defenders, especially in the higher trim levels (though with a closer to 2016 model year, this difference would definitely be reduced relative to the Defender). The Wrangler's interior roll-cage is a substantial safety improvement, at a substantial reduction in rear interior cargo volume. In the US at least, accessories and upgrades are available at an order of magnitude lower price. But, in the US at least--as you see them on every street corner--they completely lack spirit or soul--thus, why I own two, wildly impractical, four-wheel drive British farm implements....
