The disco and the RRC were basically the same thing as the old Defender. I don’t quite get that guys point.
You are a little backwards on your timeline... The RR came out first. The 90/110 came out 13 years later and used the same drivetrain and suspension with stronger axles, a stronger frame and an updated Land Rover body. Large amount of the new model where identical to the old. It made it better both off and on road.
The Discovery was a very simple rebody of the RR. The rolling chassis was 100% identical. Only the body changed.
This new vehicle they are producing has no connection at all to the old. The original Land Rover was meant to be a good off road vehicle that was acceptable to drive on the road. The new Defender is a good on road vehicle that is acceptable to drive off road. IMO, the priorities are backwards. This should have been a vehicle that broke new ground off road and embarrassed any other stock vehicle including its predecessor off road, while being decent on road. It would have been simple to do, and they would have made a killing, but the current design team really does not understand of what I speak.
