[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hate Range Rovers.  Love this.  The design was intentional, as they are two totally different markets (relatively).

Owned a few over the years - they are ALWAYS in the shop!  But I love the look and feel of them. [/quote]

Actually, by way of the redesign, they are now chasing *exactly* the same market, not totally different ones. The new Surrender is a luxury soft-roader cute-ute, appealing to the very same demographic that would also be into a Range Rover.

The previous generations of Defender were simple, no frills off road vehicles designed perfectly for their intended use. They had solid axles for negotiating rocks and boulders. They can be fixed with hand tools in the the middle of the woods, hosed out when full of mud and dirt, and were engineered with surviving damage and abuse in mind. Everything a Range Rover isn’t, in other words.

This thing, abandons all that, and instead is just another Range Rover.

Very sad to see the Defender bloodline end like this. Very sad indeed. [/quote]
