[Overland-Indiana]

Thats gonna make Toyota rethink about retooling the stagnant Landie platform too.

Hopefully not this body style...I like the older style much better.

Isn't that a Sequoia? Oh wait, no... that's just why I think they should revamp the style ;)

Looks nice, but will they be importing them to the U.S. ?

If only money grew on trees. sigh

 

[Byron Eby]

Too bad we can't have the Hilux over here...

If the new defender comes to the US with a diesel I might sell a kidney.

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiccccccccccceeeeeeee! I knew the Defender would not go gentle (or quietly) into that good night..."Rage, rage (my beloved Defender) against the dying of the light!!!" LOL... but seriously, Maybe something can be done (a petition or maybe new legislation, I don't know...something though) to bring the Defender, the Hilux, the Nissan Patrol and other great overlanders to the U.S. I realize emissions control has a lot to do with it. Correct me if I'm wrong...but doesn't Britain have stricter emissions laws than the U.S.?

Anyway, I'm rambling...nice to see the Defender name continuing....

It's not emissions.

It's "greasing" the right politicians.....................
