"XTec" Special Edition Land Rover Defender—Yay or Nay?

[MattScott]

What does everyone think about the new special edition "XTec" Land Rover Defender?

I dig the combination of a nice paint job, an interesting, upscale interior, and the addition of aggressive tires as standard. I think it makes a great statement.

I would buy one if they were smart enough to offer me one.

So are they coming state side or will this be another tease . .

Tease

 

[spikemd]

Very MOD-ish. Nice, but just another tease for us on this side of the pond...

 

[TangoBlue]

Very nice... sigh.

 

[ColoDisco]

Awesome! Which means it will probably not be offered here.

 

[JeffRRC]

I like the look of the black roof, but it stinks for practicality. White would be much better.

 

[achampagne]

Looks great, to bad it will be 25 years until I can import one.

 

[LR Max]

Meh. Looks fine. However I was drooling over the 6 speed manual trans more than anything else. Seats look...stiff.

I am drooling over the pictures too much to offer a coherent reply.

Hi all,

Just letting you know I'm lucky enough to live the dream over here in Australia. Got myself a 2011 Defender 110 Limited Edition Xtec (narva bronze colour). It's my first Defender and I absolutely love everything about it, even its quirks and jerks !!



Hope you get them over there soon !!

Dave

View attachment 110201 View attachment 110202 View attachment 110203Very nice BUT.................so very very EVIL to tell the rest of us poor dickheads in the US of A about it. You are creating a mass depression syndrome. I'm glad somebody's got one however. Cheers.

I really loathe you for showing us these awesome Defenders! All I really want is a newish 110 or LC 78....

UGLY. Having seen one in the flesh those headlights and grille are just ugly compared to the old style.
