Will be very interesting to see if they get the go ahead to build and pass all the rules and regulations!

Do you have a link to where that nugget came from?

Got it.
Mixed feelings really; of course I’d like him to build it in Wales, but it makes a lot more logistical and financial sense to build it in France as, other than final assembly, it’s an realistically an EU car. No point on doubling up on tariffs and having so many other associated logistical issues.

The doors will fall off and you would have the air pulled out of your lungs and die before you got to 70 in a defender so I don't know how they did that test, a 2.5 NA engine in it will prevent that ever happening.
I have a feeling this manufacturer will not be publishing a leak cure manual like LR has for the Def! I also think this will give LR a big headache after their lazy 'clone' of the LR range with the new Defender - they seem to have little understanding of why the Defender was so universally liked
I couldn't help noticing a certain sponsor's name was in a prominant position on a certain F1 car yesterdayNow it looks like any production will be in France at a ready made site vacated by Daimler and not Portugal and Wales as previously planed.
Why? The new Jeep rolls over when conducting the 3/4 head-on collision test!

Any rumour of starting prices?
40k for the basic model, but that was last year, that doesn’t take into the consideration the savings involved in dumping the Welsh.

@ £40k they’ll fly off the shelves so I expect the order books to be full. Surprised they didn’t do a Tesla and take a £1000 deposit 2 years ahead of the release of their smaller hatch.
Musk was playing it canny with the release of the 3 and the Y the deposit scheme gave a clear indication of the level of demand, though the $30 k model never really materialised.
As I suspect neither will the £40k grenadier.
