Kas tõesti ootab meid ees selline kurb tulevik:

Nu uue G-mersu taustal pole asi sugugi kõige hullem:

Jah, ilmselt saab aasta 2007 Defenderi jaoks hauakivisse raiutud.*
Seega 59 aastat mõnusaid masinaid.

*-masstootmise lõpp Inglismaal.
Jätkub ilmselt CKD-de tootmine ning eritellimused militaarstruktuuridele.
Võimalik, et Solihull'is SVD (Special Vehicle Deprtment) alla või mujal maades.

Kes aga kuju ja LR aurat fännib, neile on asenduseks ja meenutuseks pakkuda Santana SP-10.

Kole koobas! Mersuga võrreldes muidugi tühitähi, aga ikkagi PAHA! Loodame, et neid krekandusi jõutakse veel järgneva aasta jooksul piisavalt toota- kuid egas umbrohi hävine;) Defekad jäävad siia maamunale igaveseks õlirada sabas, tilpnema

Maailm muutub järjest igavamaks-isikupäratumaks...seda enam hoidkem taastagem vana....

See näeb välja nagu uus suur Freelander(kartul)Ma siiralt loodan ,et selline kreekandus tootmisse kunagi ei jõua.Näha on ,etjäik sild on asendunud ka sõltumatu vedrustusega.Ja see ei ole HEA.

Ilmselt on sul õigus
Olgu kere alumiiniumist või plastikust ja sillad kasvõi mitme lääbaga, õlirada ei lõpe iial
Tegelikult kurb

Vehicle Review: Land Rover Defender
Back in North America in 2007!

It appears the rumors are true: The legendary Land Rover Defender will be re-introduced to the North American market in 2007 (as a 2008 model).

How different will it be? For starters, it will have the requisite air bags - a major cause for it being pulled back in 1997. It will have to be easier to assemble - the previous style was largely built by hand. And it will have a newer, more modern body design on a steel frame.

More good news: Short-wheelbase, long-wheelbase, and soft-top versions are in the works, although it is still unclear how many of these versions might be bound for North America.

The downside? No V-8's are projected. Gasoline engines will come from Ford: a direct-injection four with variable timing, a 3.0-liter Duratec V-6, and for the U.S. only, a 3.8-liter V-6. Peugeot will supply a 2.7-liter turbodiesel V-6 for Europe (though the in-the-know Rover enthusiast crowd here in the States has already started the grumbling about no TDi diesel - so perhaps their jawwing will not fall on deaf ears.

Land Rover's managing director, Matthew Taylor said, "The Defender is important. It is one of the few genuine auto icons. Our challenge now is to see how we can successfully take it forward and make it a 21st Century icon"


2008 Defenders - Short Wheelbase and Long Wheelbase Models

As far as being easier to assemble, Land Rover is moving to simplify it platforms from four to two. (60 percent of the new Discovery, for instance, is constructed by automation and it's rumored that Ford wants the same level of assembly automation in use for the new Defender.) As such, Automotive News reports that the next Defender will use Land Rover's new T5 platform architecture, the same body-on-chassis platform used for the new Discovery 3 / LR3 and upcoming Range Stormer or Range Rover Sport (the newest mini-Range Rover slated for upcoming release.)

Land Rover sells about 27,000 Defenders a year to the rest of the world. It's high time it set its sights on North America again, where the mighty Defender's legendary off-road prowess will be put to good use.

Eesti pressi andmetel jääb praeguse väliskujuga Defender tootmisesse aastani 2010. Sealt edasi ei saa toota, kuna auto ei vasta enam uutele EU ohutusnõuetele.

Tulev aasta toob autole järgmised muudatused:
*uus mootor (seoses heitgaaside nõuete karmistumisega)
*uus küttesüsteem ja ventilatsioon
*täieleikult moderniseeritud salong
Ostuse taga on asjaolu, et konkurents nõuab turule endiselt täisraamil ja talasildadega "tööhobuseid".

Minu meelest ainuke asi mida nad seal muutma peaks oleks tooli, rooli ja pedaalide asetamine õigele kohale. Ma vaikselt hellitan lootust, et see ongi see salongi täielik modifitseerimine.

Sõitsin täna Vilojeti poest mööda ja mõtlesin /stupid me / et lähen vaatan ka defenderit, katsun näpuga ja istun sisse, et äkki saab isegi väikese tiiru ümber mustamäe teha ..... aga maaletoojal pole kohapeal MITTE ÜHTEGI defenderit ja ei tule ka lähiajal osta siis veel autot...
Samas range-d ja jaaguare oli pool poodi täis, nii et finantsi taha ei tohiks takerduda, kas siis tahtmine nõrk? Või nõudlus nii suur?

As you already know, Production for the Defender with excellent Td5 engine will cease by the end of this year. The main reason is the Euro4 emission standard for heavy cars, which apply from January 2007.

Defender with new engine, transmission and new pricing will be
introduced in Q1 2007. Deliveries start by the end of April.

Ps. There is still a last chance to order Defender 110 Td5 SWs (Station
Wagons) by Thu 10th August.

Customer demand for the iconic Defender will see Land Rover release details of a new model for 2007 later this year, including a series of significant upgrades to enhance the ownership experience and meet forthcoming legislation. It starts going on sale next spring and will help ensure that the Defender remains in production until at least 2010.

The extension to the long life of Defender, which has been in production in various models since 1948, will preserve more than 750 jobs at the Solihull factory where it is produced alongside the Range Rover, Range Rover Sport and Discovery 3. Work is also underway to see if there are opportunities to extend Defender's life beyond 2010.

Annual production of Defender has remained consistent at around 25,000 units in recent years, with much of the demand coming from large contract orders. For example, the Italian energy distribution company, Ente Nazionale Elettricita, recently placed an order for over 900 Defenders.

Since its emergence, nearly 60 years ago, the original Land Rover has carved a heroic path through some of the world's remotest regions and at one time for 60% of the planet's population a Land Rover was the first motorised vehicle they had seen.

"With sales growth forecast in 2006, Defender remains a significant contributor to the business as well as an enduring symbol of Land Rover's 4x4 heritage," said Phil Popham, Land Rover's Managing Director. "Its simple concept hasn't changed fundamentally over the years, but it remains as relevant as ever.

Defender continues to play a vital role for emergency services, aid workers and farmers around the world. As we grow Land Rover we're not forgetting our core values and our traditional customers."

With a rugged ladder-frame box-section chassis and aluminium bodywork, the Defender is incredibly tough. Its practical advantages include its unmatched combination of off-road supremacy, carrying capacity and towing capability.

The Defender name was introduced in 1990 but the model is a direct descendant of the original Land Rover introduced in 1948. Production of Defender and its predecessors has passed 1.8 million and it is estimated that over two thirds of them are still in use.
