It's a 4 door hatchback. I just don't get that - kinda like the Subaru Impreza wrx or whatever. Make a 2 door version.

It's the hot hatch thing, man.

(not that I know what it is, but it is a thing. Top Gear says so.)

I really like our Disco. A Defender would be awesome though. Rover is supposedly planning on bringing the next one over here. One can hope.

Agreed. Isn't Honda bringing the Civic Type R here in a few years as well?

Sam, I was under the impression that Land Rover ceased production of the Defender relatively recently, partially because Top Gear did a special on it a short while ago... Perhaps that was an anniversary episode?

Charlie, it looks like you will have some test driving to do!

Next year IIRC. Maybe as a '17 though.

They did, but then they kept going since they didn't have a replacement available yet. I think the new one comes out in '17.
