#39 of 128 Defender will be Land Rover by walterchan Aug 26, 2003 (8:42 pm)
I'm quite confident that the Defender will not be a Ford related design. Land Rover keeps their Defender's heritage very well and I doubt the engine and the body are designed by Ford.

I have it on good authority that the Defender will come back to the states ('06) and will share the same chassis as the 2004 Disco. I hope this person is correct, and in the meantime, I'll be saving up for it.

...there's a D110 here in Anchorage with ALL the goodies, lights, winches, roll cages, jump seats, you name it. It's "only" $58,000.

miked03 - why do you think it would be good news for the D90 to share its chassis with the Discovery? Isn't the current UK D90's chassis good as is? I understand that the only reason why we haven't seen it in the U.S. since 1997 is because it needed interior modifications (airbags, etc.) to comply with US regulations. I'm hoping that it retains much of its looks and legendary off-road characteristics, and that Ford does not tamper with the model significantly (just like they did in making one Jaguar model resemble a Taurus).
#43 of 128 D90 in 2006 by amhjms Dec 21, 2003 (10:25 am)
Any updates on the D90 coming in 2006? I'm particularly interested in what will happen to the values of the 94, 95 and 97 models if a new design comes to the US as my wife would be more open to a $10 k vehicle vs. a $30 k + (particularly as I think I'll still keep my sports car).   Sure it is possible that Ford will mess up the D90, but I'd be surprised. The new Range Rover is quite nice, yet retained its offroad capabilities, right? Since the D90 is a global vehicle and used in the jungles of the world, I think the risk of Ford taming it significant are relatively low.   I love those D90s

There were less than 9,000 Defenders sold in the US in the 4 years they were offered (93,94,95,97), and the numbers are not growing. There have been hundreds of thousands sold in the UK with more new ones every year. Supply and demand keep the price up in the U.S.

#48 of 128 In the SUVs Newsletter this week from Edmunds.com by Sylvia STAFF Jul 19, 2004 (8:17 pm)
A new Land Rover Defender will arrive on the sport-ute scene within a few years to anchor the brand's reputation as a hard-core off-road haven. Automotive News Europe says that the model, a staple in the Land Rover lineup for years but unavailable in the U.S. for the past couple of years due to safety and emissions hurdles, will return this decade, possibly as early as 2007. The replacement for the Defender will be based on the new T5 architecture that underpins the new LR3, which itself replaces the outgoing Discovery.
