"A ladder chassis. Permanent four-wheel drive. Beam axles. Class-leading towing and payload capacity, with power and torque to match. Wrapped in a stripped back, boxy 4x4 body."

I am excited to see where this goes and if it makes it to the US. Doubtful considering 70 Series Land Cruisers are unobtainium here.

I'm hoping this emphasis on utility makes its way to the new Bronco as well, but I may have to wait for a Grenadier instead.

If it makes it to the US they would probably aim for that specialty classification under 300 vehicles a year. So to make it a viable business it would be expensive as heck at that volume.

The other thing I like about this is it indicates market demand and momentum towards a durable, purpose built off road utility vehicle where function is the priority. More competitors in this market should provide us with a nice range of choices, options, and after-market for truly off-road capable vehicles that don't begin with J.

More competition and innovation, more choices. Can't go wrong with that.

A new short wheelbase 90s Defender clone would be a true objet de désir

I just read a half dozen new articles about this vehicle...kinda cooled my jets a bit. INEOS says they've taken the "S" out of SUV - that this is a purpose built 'utility vehicle' geared to folks who mainly need to 'haul' and 'tow'. An example they gave was omission of sound-deadening cladding in the body. Might not be sufficiently asphalt-friendly for me.

They have an ugly mule too.

Just realized they are using the Ford Everest as the basis for their test mule hahaha. I remember everyone freaking out thinking that the Bronco would just be a re-badged Everest. Aside from the bloated style, I think its a cool little SUV

If this comes under 60k Bronco will have serious competition.

I would be more worried about Land Rover and the recently released Defender. This looks more like a Defender than the Defender does.

SFA and ZF 8 speed is a good combo not to sure about the BMW sourced I6 though.
