When the Bronco was officially released, I said something to the effect of "look Ford built the better defender" on one of the LR forums I belonged to and got more agreement than disagreement.This is very similar to my view (less owning an lr3).
IIRC the Bronco and Defender buzz started around the same time, and I was intrigued by both. We were looking for a "jeep" type vehicle - looking at everything from restored classics, NAS defenders, new jeeps, etc. Really just something to enjoy with our toddler boys. I was disappointed by the new defender, and jumped on the bronco.
At the time the LR faithfull told us that given all the regulations, market forces, etc, that it just was not possible for LR to build the new Defnder like the old one. And then the Grenadier happened and blew that out of the water.
