That’s what my friend whose wife drives an LR4 called it!It is a sweet LR5
Agree with inflation, but conceptually disagree. With advancements in technology and manufacturing the cost should go down over time. So if we are talking differences in spec and they cost the same then sell me the old one for half the cost because I don’t care about all the wizardry. It costs too much because they insist on putting a ton of crap into it. That 70 series Land Cruiser pickup costs the same as the inflation adjusted Defender 90. Maybe they should have just kept the old one going... clearly there is a market.A $35k Defender in 1995 would cost $59,000 today adjusting for inflation. The difference in spec between the future 110 and the original is incredible.

I’m thinking stateside specifically. There are far too many better options overseas than a Defender: Hilux, Land Cruiser, Navarro, Ranger, D-Max, L200, Jimny, Amarok, etc. hence their ever dwindling sales.Sales numbers for the old one in the last years were not good; 17K a year with a blip up in the final year because they were going away.

We now have an official technical forum for the new Defender.
