    Oh wow, I sure do like that convertible / removable top / whatever it is! I could never afford $70 (heck, my house didn't cost that!), but, hey, it's a Range Rover... maybe the price will really dump for a used one after a few years.

    "...LR/RR is to be commended for being the ONLY automobile manufacturer willing to step away from the 4-door SUV norm and offer a 2-door Coupe SUV in both the 2012 RR Evoque and now once again with the revamped 2015 LR Defender (hardtop) & Defender Sport (roadster)...."

    Not exactly. Porsche is moving ahead with PRODUCTION of their new "Cajun", based on the Audi Q5 platform. Initially slated to START as a five door, THEN a 3 door - their latest announcement is to start with the THREE door FIRST! Scheduled to be available late next year, or early 2013. I for one am EAGERLY awaiting this one! No offense to Land Rover, but without doing any online research, I gotta believe that the Porsche has got to be about 100 times MORE reliable day-to-day than the Land Rover...

    Regarding the Evoque, I gotta say that personally speaking, the styling of that leaves me cold. The Porsche Cajun has got it goin' on styling-wise; to MY eye, it shares a number of the same styling queues that we all know and love from the VX...

    Postscript: *I* will be on the next manned space mission to Mars before LR builds anything that even REMOTELY resembles that convertible concept...

    First off, the LR concept is nice, but I seriously doubt it will ever go to production. Stuff this cool never gets built...except in a few rare occasions....like our VXes.

    Now the funny thing about the Bronco concept, is that I was thinking about a Bronco update over a year ago!! How cool!
