    One does not need to be "in HR" to observe what is self-evident and which is presented publicly in numerous insider promotional videos. The culture at JLR is overtly corporate, austere, and luxury focused. The grit and proud hard-working culture is dead. It's a company run by art collectors...

    There we have it. The ultimate response. Next time I buy an impact wrench or miter saw I'll make sure it been though an austere London design shop where only the most critical details like radii lead-in and tactile quality have been obsessed over.

    What relation do 37s and solid axles have to ideal wheel size? Keep beating that strawman.

    Same design language. Throw a spare wheel on the back and you've got a Defender Sport.

    I showed my five year old son the new Defender a few days ago and asked what he thought. "Look dad! It's like mom's MINI Cooper!"

    Is he going to followup with angry eye headlamps, plastic treadplate, and a big square on the side? Rewire all the rear lights to indicate the same. Add about 10" of foam around each pillar to simulate visibility..

    Not sure if you've seen them side by side, but Defender was the king of off-road capability in the 80s and 90s. While YJ was rolling on leaf springs until 95, Defender had been on coils since 1983. Even when the TJ came out in 97, the Defender's longer forged control arms were far superior to...
