Yesterday we showed AutoBILD’s rendering of a new GLG. Our Best and Brightest immediately caught on to the fact that the image was derived from the Land Rover DC100 Concept, another image of which is above for your viewing disgust at the way in which Land Rover’s current owners are coring-out every last bit of the company’s heritage pleasure.
As always, we’re proud to have the sharpest group of readers in the business… even if some of them do occasionally comment elsewhere, too!

It’s a marginally less ugly FJ Cruiser.
Probably with marginally better visibility.
With some Honda Element plastic tossed in for extra winningness.
Why doesn’t Land Rover give us a federalized Defender with good enough manners to go on US interstates? I’d make one my DD.
Have you seen a typical RR owner?
I think they’d crap themselves if they even laid eyes on a spartan Defender 110 in a showroom, with its metal and rubber interior and lack of any wood, leather, or LCD touchscreen.
But I’m guessing if they brought over 5000 Defenders a year, they’d sell every one.
The last time they brought over 500 Defender 110s, they were showroom poison. It’s one of those cars which flourishes in the used market, like a 964 RS America.
I can’t imagine many US owners want a manual gearbox and tiny diesel engine, for a start.
I understand that’s the plan with the next generation though.
It looks like a Toyota, which is to say infinitely better than an Evoque.
