I might be wrong, but I think all it needs to be ready for the US would be airbags and emmisions. I thought the EU would have worse emmissions laws than dumbas$$ California.

Land Rover is working hard with the US to bring the V6 TDi and V8TT diesel to the US. I doubt a defender will have the V8TT. A USA Defender could easily have the same 4.0 or 4.4 that comes in a LR3, or hell, even the Inline six of an LR2 would do good.
