Depends on what will be included in the cheapest version possible. If it will have no infotainment, no active air suspension and so on, than maybe, just maybe it won't break every 100km.

Don’t get me wrong i personally love the aesthetic of it. Its the persona they missed. Defender ‘users’ want the go anywhere tech... engine, suspension sure. Beyond that nice seats and a heater better than an asthmatic hedgehog would suffice many fans with a £7k lower baseline price for the lack of mod cons. People wanting tech and good offroad have a discovery, freelander, range rover for that. The defender needed to stay raw and this my friends just isn’t close to raw.

Kinda agree. From the side and the rear it looks great and true to the original shape, but the front end just seems massive and chubby.. probably partly due to aerodynamic intentions, but it comes off as extremely nose heavy where the old model had short overhangs and the proportions from front to rear were more balanced. I really like the car overall, but I wish the front end was different. Maybe some aftermarket work will do

They canceled the original defender because sales were going down, and it was time for a new beginning. It would be almost impossible to make an updated version of original defender because they would have to jack the price so much.
