    You know they are going to sell like 6 of these and then discontinue them. Then 5 years from now we'll all be lamenting how no one makes cars like the Defender 90 V8 anymore.

    There has long been a following for LR90 V8's. Conversions from standard V8's are popular. I hope Land Rover continues to make the 90 V8 but include an Offroad, bench seat version as described by Doug.
    The lack of towing hooks up front is probably a crash safety issue, LR should offer a removable tow hook system.

      Explain to me what makes the 2-door desirable? 23:00 mark is exactly how I have always felt about most overpowered 2-door SUVs, not to mentioned the loss any real practicality (same concept of going from a 4-door sedan to a coupe). They aren't even actually good off-road, there is a reason why the kings are all 4 doors (aka longer wheel based).

    I have to say that Land Rover has come a long way since I had a Series III 88" (the short version compared to the long one which was 109") in the 80's. My 88" had a petrol inline four of 2286 cc which produced 71 HP and 162 Nm. I also had a long version (ie 109") which had a petrol inline six of 2625 cc which produced 86 HP and 179 Nm. Fantastically nice cars both, but from a completely different era. A big difference from today's Land Rover Defender 90 is that my Series III 88" actually had 7 seats including a jump seat in the center front. Of course it also had a so-called safari roof with 4 roof vents and side windows. It also had 2 spare wheels. One mounted on the hood and one hung on the back door :)

      well to be fair, that old and dare I say marvelous series III would even today manage to get virtually everywhere...I doubt that the new defender has even half the capabilities and the reliability (or rather easy repairability) of the old ones. Personally I would still prefer the Defender V8's of the early nineties, which optionally came with the Vitesse RV8...190 bhp and a curbweight of less than 1650 kg is perfectly fine imho
