>>28977317Us Americans never got any of the reliable powerplants or neat transmission options, these cars are already unicorns as it is due to that.Given the opportunity to import one, I still think I'd spring for a diesel-powered L322 Range instead however.>t. former RR P38 4.6 HSE owner
>>28977323>Us Americans never got any of the reliable powerplants or neat transmission options, these cars are already unicorns as it is due to that.L322 was available with the bulletproof BMW M57 Diesel, and the P38 Was available with the Indestructible indirect injection BMW M51 Diesel with Manual gearbox
>>28977317Land Rovers are not reliable. I would rather have a 2004 4.2L 6-cylinder Turbo Diesel Nissan Patrol.
>>28977345>Land Rovers are not reliable.It ain't my fault you didn't get the good engines...>picrel 5 cylinder Land Rover Turbo Diesel literally used in military vehicles in war conditions
>>28977345would kill for a diesel patrol ute here in the states.
>>28977352Too many electronic shit
>>28977317They're just very ugly and have the worst of both worlds monocoque on frame construction that weighs a ton with no real advantage of either.
>>28977317I like my car starting every time and finishing the journey to work every day without issue. I might put up with its struggles for a weekend car, but not something daily driver shaped.
>>28977364Electronic what? The classic defender has barely anything in it. This is a 2016 model, and it doesn't even have airbags in it
>>28977317why are you constantly shilling british (indian) junk?fuck off
>>28977317British land rover Reliability Hahahaha
>>28977317>real offroad capabilityLol.That thing has like 7" of rocker panel clearance.I have a FSB with a 6" lift, 33's, 351w and lockers. I can replace the transmission with using a jack.

>>28977317Because I daily a manual mustang gt
>>28977525It's on airbags, that is the low position. It gets much taller in top position, and if it senses that it got stuck anyway it has a freakishly tall emergency mode to get itself out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9If59U6AEDM
>>28977345>Land Rovers are not reliable>I want a Pootrol insteadLol, lmao even
>>28977693Oh hey it's the "why do jannies ban me for attentionwhoring my yellow crustang in every thread" poofter
>>28977748Oh hey its the jannie who bans me for owning a car u the big mad huh? Cuz i dodge your bans ye?
>>28977317I saw a white one at work last week, it looked good.The darkened rear windows really activated my almonds for some reason.Pics not the one I saw, just a reference.
>>28977317Because I prefer the Disco 1 in almost every regard
>>28977766>The darkened rear windows really activated my almonds for some reasonThe Geometry and dimensions trigger me too.They just don't fit here, aesthetically.I'm a big fan of the vehicle, however.
>>28977317>>Real off road capabilitywith that ground clearance I doubt it can even clear curb
Weird how they brought this design back as a Chinese EV
>>28977525same, have stock '95 hilux on stock 32" or so, no need for jack and in the rear I can actually squat under the bed.
>>28977317>Reliable Diesel enginewat
>>28977317Because I bought this with $50:>unibody, low height, lightweight etc.>manual gearbox>8 seats>real off road capability, FWD (not some 4x4 AWD locked diff American SUV super armored truck shit that gets stuck in a hard and level ground)>reliable gasoline engine and manual gearbox combo>100 hp>studded tires for the winter, driving past your Land Rovers and 100k American trucks that are sliding and getting stuckLast summer I moved 7500 kg of stuff with it. 12 trips. Americans have never even seen this type of things done in a car. They park their new KIA or 100k truck on a level dirt road with 10 bags of dirt and call it "off road". Enjoy your rollover, failed safety tests and broken plastic parts "made in US".
>>28977696Thats interesting but>cant actually lift it to the max height on demand.>only works after its high centered and senses its stuck.>"offroad mode" is much lower than a stock FSB.>max height (still lower than my bronco ride height) is basically just an automatic jack and has no suspension travel and you cant drive in that position.
>>28977525>351wBro. Just throw in an IDI or Powerstroke. You'll literally have more low end power and better fuel economy.
>>28977881>failed safety teststhe european mind cannot comprehend america
>>28977317As an American it looks like the US version, LR3, were only offered with front and rear independent suspensions and not solid axles, not very capable for demanding off road use.Also I’m not a fan of European brands and their astronomical cost of parts, typical euro engineered/designed oddities, and higher labor cost if I ever take it to a specialty shop.
>>28977317why arent we all driving toyota paseo stick shifts?
>>28978006>just butcher your vehicle for a junkyard swap that has zero real-world benefits so you can say you have a diesel bro!! It only costs like 500 bucks and a bag of meth!!Trip on, dog fucker.
>>28977747What's the resale value of Land Rovers compared to Patrol. Find me a Land Rover with more than 300k kmlmao
>>28977317Because a 2004 Suburban is better in every way. A manual doesn't make any sense in a big SUV and manuals just gimp your off road performance.
>>28979011Ok, here's a 320,000 mile (515k km) Defender.
>>28979011the thing is, a patrol is worthless. none wants to buy it. a land rover is epic, everyone wants to buy it.
>>28979011Find me a Pootrol that hasn't been rebuilt because it shit itself
>>28978138>americans>poor>obese>below 6th-grade level education>over 40% can't even read English text>27 Liter V8 that produces 300 hp>not whiteI would killmyself if I would be American. Thankfully I was born as white, blond, blue eye, tall first world Norwegian. Here, we drive FWD shitboxes with 75 hp with thin small studded tires in places your monster cucktrucks would not be able to. We watch American crash compilations when it is slightly ice somewhere and you drive into a wall.
>>28977352>good enginesIt isn't just the engines that made these unobtanium in north america, the whole package was trash>shit sheet metal>shit electronics>frames rust like they designed to rot away in a few years>problems with the steering hardware>did I mention electronics issues?
>>28979039Lol.Nobody gives a shit about Norway.If your entire counyry vanished it would take a month for anyone on the planet to realize it.
>>28979209I didn't read a single word of this because you're objectively wrong and I don't care. You don't even understand what you're saying. Sad.
>>28979275HahahahahahahahahahahaYoure a blip in the international world.A rounding error.
>>28977317>body on framefalse. Disco 3 onwards is monocoque like the L322 Range Rover they're based on>manualdogshit underrated one from a 3 Series that shatters like glass off road>reliable dieselthose early Ford-era TDV6s were overly complex pigs designed to exploit EU laws that incentivised diesel at the time.the only post-2004 Landys worth anything are the Defenders. the only Discos worth anything are D1s and D2s, particularly the ones with the 300tdi.
>>28978241i had one of these god i miss him so much. engine blew up at 237k because bearings were fucked from previous owner. i was thinking about replacing them when doing rear main cause i didn't trust the spic i bought it from, then it threw a rod.
>>28979308LR3 and LR4 have a monocoque body on a ladder frame.
>>28979559they are really neat little cars and tremendously fun to drive for how slow they are, its a good experience overall. i hate how heavy and boatish modern cars feel.
>>28977352>TD5>military enginenope, they stuck with the old TDIs and Rover V8s for the military trucks>>28979301>look how many zogbots we have and how much goyslop we produce>>28979308>not knowing the d3 is BOF>not knowing the manual is solid>not knowing the real problem with the engine is the snappy cranks
