Any Defender sold in the US market is going to be a shaddow of its former self. Build quality and cup holders will be the order of the day. Loaded down with a gazillion airbags, dvd players and and other fluff. You will see adds on TV of the truck driving through a puddle on a gravel road and think to yourself, I had a 1973 Plymouth Fury that could do that! This may be the only way forward for Land Rover but to all you Guys with the old Defenders, Series and Range Rover Classics; Dont trade them in, Sure the new ones will not leak (as much) have more power (well some more I hope) and be way more enviromentaly sensitive but then all the fun of Rover ownership will be gone!
