That’s a bit shit after they claimed the last ever defenders to be built rolled off the production line in Jan 2016

I would so scoop one up if it were available in the US. It's awesome if for nothing else than its novelty.

For that kind of scratch I think I'd rather have an AMG G63.

I’d much rather have the Defender. The original G Wagons are cool, but I’d be embarrassed to drive one, especially a new one.

A friend in Dubai bought a 30 year old Defender and dropped a new Corvette engine into it. With the suspension and transmission upgrades, the whole project cost around $100k and was way more powerful than this $200k Defender. |

It's actually quite amazing that something shaped like a house can do the 0-60 in 5.6 seconds.
As Tom said though, it'll dissolve faster than an aspirin. I'd buy a 300 bhp 3 series BM for £40k and trouser £110k for a rainy day.

I don’t disagree with the merits or performance of all the other options. The Defender stirs an emotional desire for one in my brain, not a rational one. I still want one.

Ditto.
I think I'm going to get the next gen g-wagon that they just announced when it hits shore this coming fall. Not the AMG version though (too flashy), the G 550 or 500. I want off-road. Black with black rims... The Defender (original) is an amazing truck though. I cannot wait to see what LR comes up with for the next generation. We've been waiting forever to find out - hopefully they'll reveal something soon.

I like the older G Wagons that were basic, non-luxury SUVs. The modern G Wagon is still a very capable SUV, but its focus is on luxury. And the average G Wagon owner? Yea, sorry, but I don't want to be a part of that group.

For $200K I think I could just about build that gas turbine-hybrid F350 I've always wanted. |
