He should. His old defender looks more appealing than the new one.

@@shahibbulanwardin okay I still like the new defender tho

@@shahibbulanwardin they haven't even called it a defender before british leyland finally redesigned the car and put the name defender and the discovery is also the other reason of why land rover naming the car defender

"the hooman is saying something but i dont know what"

I was so happy to hear him say that! It is a discovery, an amazing discovery, but not a defender!

I think it’s a modern incarnation of the 1st/2nd gen Disco.

I’m a Land Rover fan, and I’m not thinking that at all. I’ve driven every Disco, and I’ve driven every Series/Defender iteration. This is a Defender, the on-road ride is all the proof you’d need.

Exactly what that is a luxurious suv desinged by accountants.. it's certainly not a workhorse utility vehicle, land rover have messed up big time..what about in places like Africa where road conditions are really rough and unforgiving you think a luxurious suv with 20 inch rims and very low profile tyres with air suspension is going to make it far😂😂😂 and who would fix it in the middle of nowhere without some fancy high tech equipment when it breaks? No doubt the land rover ceo will collect some dumb car of the year award for that new defender

Because it is by someone who actually uses a defender for its real purpose.

I think he’s not been sponsored, actually true

@@salvi1398 you drive a car, not heritage

@@justinasvaiciulis6546 that’s true for some people, but others also appreciate the history of the car, and what it stands for. In this case, the defender stands for British ruggedness and dependability

Lol

Can't wait for it's movie. Hachiko pt 2

*Futurama flashbacks*

Rumour has it that, given Hammond's record of crashing cars, the dog asked if somebody else could drive him home, otherwise he'd just walk back on his own.

@@TheEulerID Exactly. That is what even I think.

Is it worth 60 grand though? Would you throw garbage into the back of a 60 grand brand new car?

@@justinasvaiciulis6546 If it was a land cruiser series 70 I would. They already made enough useless range rovers you could spend a fortune on and fear of getting muddy, what was the point of reusing the defender name for this? Just let it die with some dignity.

@@jamesoren7238 excellent point. The Defender is a brand and as a company, I suppose they'll try to squeeze every last drop out of it. But they could have done something more imaginative than just another Discovery e.g., the beetle for example was a golf and died again, aka it just didn't capture that original beetle lure. Now the new kombi on the other hand, not sure if it ever launched actually, was really neat and seemed to encapsulate the same fun/freedom DNA the original Kombi had - until you see the price! www.bbc.com/news/business-40998128

The older one is better the new one is just for rich people to take there kids to school it is to posh for a farmer to use unlike the old one

@@disturbedcarrot it's a shame that they didn't look at suzuki. Their new jimny is just as rugged and basic as all its forebearers and equally cool.

People who have "proper" Defenders, don't put seat belts on their dogs. I wouldn't be seen dead driving a new one. There's something ever-so-slighlty feminine about it. Like it's amed at the school run market.

@@jakedavies1393 not many people buy anymore it’s all finance and leases

The current Discovery is more like a Freelander, something that I never liked.

@@fdcx1852 I can see why people who live in a dense city and who are going to trade in their cars every 2 years would just lease it. You save a bit of cash. The issue comes in when you drive more than the criminally low mileages the companies attach to the lease.

You're right - we're in a funny age when a Range Rover (evoque) and a Mini look so similar.

I’d go further than that mate and say it’s a load of bollocks. Why can’t they just mass produce the older one.

@@jaegerbomb4142 why mas produce the older one if nobody buys them. People buy suv’s to take the kids to school and to go shopping. Not to actually go off-road.

The problem with the old defender was that it couldn’t accommodate airbags, and so couldn’t be sold in America......it wasn’t that it didn’t sell over here.....I wish I’d kept my 06 TD5XS.....They are now selling second hand for way more than cost price new.....if I knew then what I know now....

It's a poncy overpriced status symbol & the closest vehicles like that get to "off-road" is the grass verge outside the houses of the "more money than sense brigade" that buy them!

No, it is a Defender for Soccer Moms.

Got more publicity upsetting you and me mate

I understand your point. But to be fair to LR, it is on its own chassis, different from the Range Rover and Discovery...

It can do everything the old Defender could do and more, so why not? It feels like some people would like the car more if it was objectively worse.

Yes LR was never a Toyota but you could repar it with a hammer this isnt Toyota as well but you cant repar it with a hammerit is a SUV or a disco

@@gc2234 true, however Rolex doesn’t have the notorious track record of reliability that LR has with their lineup. Even if the Defender is “different from the other lineup”, normal buyers will stay away alone just for that (and the average buyer can’t afford a $48K start price vs $32K for the Bronco.) of course the Defender is fantastic I don’t want to not leave that image. I just wouldn’t count the Bronco out just yet, it’s showed to have the chops to handle its own on the trails and off-road.

If Land Rover made a sandwich and called it the brand new Land Rover Defender, then that sandwich would officially be the new Land Rover Defender! Get over yourself!

@@gc2234 but if that sandwich tasted like a land rover discovery then it's a land rover discovery.

@@gc2234 It has the mechanical bits of a Discovery. It looks like a Discovery, especially at the front. It's as expensive as a Discovery. So Land Rover can call it a Discovery or a Freelander or an LR5. But they're not fooling anyone by pretending that it's any kind of Defender. A Defender is a simple rugged car that a Bush mechanic can work on. This vehicle is so complex that even Land Rover dealers can't service it properly.

@@jackdren9974 but the whole point is... the taste you're referring to will be the taste of the Defender. And the taste of the thing that Land Rover call the Discovery is the taste of the Discovery. They're completely different sandwiches. You're just confused.

@@geoffk777 wrong... You're thinking of the OLD Defender.... Which I guess is now known as the "Classic Defender". The Land Rover Defender from the year 2020 onwards is the blue vehicle you see in this video which can go anywhere and do anything in unbelievable comfort and style, but still won't shatter your spine when driving it for longer than 20 minutes.
