I'm pretty sure Jeep and the Wrangler customers could care less. They sell more Wranglers per month than Land Rover sold Defenders per year.
"The Wrangler, according to FCA, has ?more than 75 advanced safety and security features, including four standard-equipment air bags..."
OMG, 4 whole airbags!!! The wrangler has always been more of a utilitarian vehicle than the rest of the market. But it's lagging farther and farther behind in safety features. It only barely outsells the Cherokee, despite every Jeep enthusiast hating it. Pretty much the only thing it has going for it is the classic vibes. In the next few years it's going to face more competition than ever.
You have zero understanding of the Wrangler market and it is the same market that would buy a real Defender in droves. Fortunately the people at Jeep understand.

Additionally, FCA claims that the Wrangler was designed to "deliver superior performance and unique driving experiences under the most demanding conditions" and that "testing protocols that apply exclusively to urban scenarios may not align with such a vehicle."
Unfortunately automobiles have become smarter than the people operating them
There is a guy on DSource claiming a LR Exec told him the new Defender is going to be a modernized classic Defender and they are just messing with us with the spy truck.
