Great write-up. The new Defender is also a big miss for me. Nothing remotely appealing it at all, and I've been a LR fan for 50 years. I also find it one of the strangest looking vehicles on the road. The 90 isn't too bad, but the 110 is hideous. Very sad to see what's become of Landrover.

I was reading a LR mag I bought when I was in the UK in December. There was an interview with a guy who'd worked for the company for 40 something years. When he retired he went back as a consultant for a while, but he left for good when the new owners told him they weren't at all interested in the brand's history, that they simply didn't care.

Have you actually driven one, to come to this conclusion?

l agree that the 90 looks better than the 110, although most buyers round here seem to go for the larger version.

Bizarrely the 130 seems to work better than the 110

I have not. I don't need to drive one to judge its looks. I'm sure they're really nice to drive, though.
