I don't know man... I get that spec'ing a base defender with the 4cyl is "cheap", but that 6cyl just totally tips the scales.I'd argue once you start specing things the defender gets even cheaper. If you add all the features that are standard on a defender into your bronco build they become basically the same price. Particularly if you can live with the smaller engine. The Land rover options are expensive, but I find they are generally less necessary than the bronco ones are.
I agree 100% on the P400 throttle.Just figured I'd update here, drove the P300 as well as the P400, and I honestly liked the P300 more. It felt more responsive and peppy, I also liked the brakes better. It's definitely significantly slower than the P400, but it did not feel underpowered. There was just something off about the way the P400 reacted to throttle inputs, it does have tons of power and is super smooth, but it definitely sacrifices responsiveness. I was also a little concerned about reliability with the complex electric supercharger system, and it's $10k more...
Anyway, I just officially placed my order for one today, so that means I need to cancel my day 2 bronco reservation. Ended up being $6k CAD more than the bronco spec I was eyeing up, and its pretty well optioned. Almost exactly like the one I posted photos of earlier in this thread, should arrive May/June. bronco just doesn't make sense once you get it all kitted out, at least for me anyway.
Yeah if you are going base the bronco is going to be way cheaper, but it's not a fair comparison as the defender comes with way more stuff standard. So if you don't want that stuff, then it has no value to you. it really just depends on what you want the car for.I wanted to see if the price comparison claims were true, so for giggles, I went to the LR b&p and priced out a build similar to my basic 2 dr badlands build. First off, can't get a manual in the LR. The price was north of $52k for the land rover, $45k for the Bronco. And the Bronco gives me everything I want, including removable doors and top, except for some orange trim. I don't get the enthusiasm for that mall crawler with 18" steel wheels being the smallest size available. What a joke. The two models should not be compared seriously.
Personally as I mentioned earlier, I found the P300 drives better than the P400. I was assuming I'd want the big engine as well until I actually drove the cars. the small engine still has a tow rating thats more than double the the bronco's. Also on paper its a more fair comparison with the small motors, as the big defender engine will be way faster than the bronco's big engine, it's also far more complex.I don't know man...

Congrats! I was considering posting my wildtrack cancellation email tooIt's official. No turning back now. Ordering a 90 on January 2nd... Good luck to all.
You should drive the new defender and report back on thoughts. I think you’ll be surprisedI wanted to see if the price comparison claims were true, so for giggles, I went to the LR b&p and priced out a build similar to my basic 2 dr badlands build.

Hahaha. I planned to wait on the Warthog, but now I am leaning toward a D110. Although in reality I will wait to see what the Grenadier is like when completed and compare the three.You fucker. Now I'm looking at these. THere's a tasmain blue nearby for 53k with a white top. There's another tasmain blue with black top with adventure package for 55k a bit further. Fuck. Fuck Fuck FUck.
It’s an I6, and it’s primarily turbocharged (technically also has a small supercharger as part of the MHEV, but is not supercharged by normal meaning of word)I like the Superchaged V6 in it, but other than that, I'd have to stick with the Bronco, since I wanna row my own gears and actually afford it.
If anything though, be Pimptastic if my dad got a defender, then I'll find somewhere fun for us to offroad together
The Grenadier is Def a cool copy of the the old defender. But honestly, old defenders were kind of a piece of shit. There's a fine line between being able to fix and having to fix. They also had a tendency to rust.Hahaha. I planned to wait on the Warthog, but now I am leaning toward a D110. Although in reality I will wait to see what the Grenadier is like when completed and compare the three.
