Re: New Land Rover Defender
I have been wanting one of these for years. Sorry to disappoint you but Rover IS NOT going to export these to the US. A redisign is slated for 2010, at which time they will consider exporting them. Until then if you want one you will have to pay +50K for a 1993 if you can find one. Jim Newman of The Rover Group, SD Ca can help.

Re: New Land Rover Defender
Looks like the the old one just witha face lift. And with onl 120 HP it seems extremly lacking in power with people complaining about the H3's 242 i wonder how people would respond to that.

Re: New Land Rover Defender
Here's a Motor Trend article that says it is coming to the U.S.
http://www.motortrend.com/future/spi...over_defender/

The Defender, absent from this market since after the 1997 model year, returns to the United States in 2007 as a 2008 model. It retains its image as the purest, most committed sport/utility in Land Rover's lineup, although a smaller, more basic model reportedly is in the works for introduction a year later.

I'd even hesitate to say it's competition for the H2.

Re: New Land Rover Defender
They are real classic designs. They are all live axles on coil springs. Some have the V8.
Rovers reliability record is a liability. And they are expensive to repair
Ive had good luck with Jeeps, Toyotas and now with an H3 so I down I would go for the Rover unless I lived in Africa but even there I'd probably want a Land Crusier
