Was there any doubt it wouldn't win hands-down??? Of course not. I can't wait to see how the L/R - DEFENDER does when it makes its scheduled debut in 2015.
Congrat's, a well deserved win!!!
:bgwb:
Nice vehicle. I would want something with a higher stock suspension. I got chuckle out of the video. They filmed it going down hill in snow and slush....Not uphill. I dare em. Film that baby in deeper snow yet and go uphill. Ha!!
Not sure what makes this news so exciting (unless you own one), but hey, party on.... I guess. :p
Oooo the Defender is coming back?! Those short wheelbase D90's are one of my favorite vehicles!
Engines keep getting smaller while the horsepower figures keep getting bigger. 2.0 liter, 240 horse, straight 4 cylinder; technology keeps marching on!
Same specs as an s2000 from 2000....another jap car ahead of its timeQuote:

They say it "will" be built for 2015, but we'll just have to wait and see if that's true.

Awesome! Thanks for sharing that, I had no idea! Man, I hope they do make it. I'm so weary of concepts because the manufacturers so often wimp out on all the cool designs they come up with! I hope they have the balls, guts, or whatever body part is required to make it happen! I still want a D90 someday, but they are so expensive here in the States since they stopped importing them!
I could certainly see myself buying one of these pre-owned at some point.
I can buy the ford they rebadged and upgraded for half the price.
Anyone who thinks land rover's are cool should work on one..... it will forever change their mind.......
That Evoque is just awesome looking....in fact, it just keeps getting awesomer and awesomer (is that a word?) looking to me!Quote:

Love those pictures, that truck looks so good in green! Which Ford did they upgrade and rebadge?!
Didn't LR get sold to a Chinese company sometime in the past year or so? So wonder what quality issues they'll have....not that they had great quality before....unfortunately.Quote:

LOL, Triathlete is poking fun at the Ford - EDGE. However, I still haven't seen a 2-door coupe model of the Ford - Edge yet. Doh!!!Quote:

Nope....the Ford Vortrek

That is the replacement for the Escape.
And that ford vortrek looks very similar the acura MDX isn't ?
The MDX looks more like an Edge amd there is a differance in looking similar and rebadging :D
I think the MDX looks more like the BMW M6 or X6 or whatever it is.
The Ford is the British Mondial, but I think it's also some Freelander parts, as well. I saw the Evoque in person last month in Stockholm, it looked really smooth, just like the VX first looks conveyed. Is it a worthy successor...time will tell. They are forecasted to sell like Minis, in great numbers. But the whole idea is a crossover that doesn't look like a toaster, just like the VX.
There is a two door Vertrek?
Ford Modial and old LR Freelander are involved under the new skin.
