"I agree with Jannie. Even though I don't know what a Disco 5 is."

"I hope this is a red herring from Land Rover and the new Defender is released in a blaze of glory with 3 wheelbase variations on the NEW chassis they are developing. I would be disappointed if the "all new" Defender sat on an unloved, overweight hand-me-down from the obsolete Discovey. If they want to keep building the T5 chassis they should sell it as a boat anchor for container ships. The Defender deserves better. If the new chassis is strong enough for the luxury models, it would be strong enough for a lightweight aluminium bodied Defender. Do it properly Land Rover and make several wheelbase variants of your new chassis. PS, I like the photoshopped bronco concept - it works for me!"

"KISS, Keep it simple stupid. Lets hope this new defender isn't as electronic and complicated as the Disco 5's"
