    Default "XTec" Special Edition Land Rover Defender—Yay or Nay?

    What does everyone think about the new special edition "XTec" Land Rover Defender?



    I dig the combination of a nice paint job, an interesting, upscale interior, and the addition of aggressive tires as standard. I think it makes a great statement.

    Check it out here on the front page. [link]

    I would buy one if they were smart enough to offer me one.

    Very MOD-ish. Nice, but just another tease for us on this side of the pond...

    Awesome! Which means it will probably not be offered here.

    I like the look of the black roof, but it stinks for practicality. White would be much better.

    Meh. Looks fine. However I was drooling over the 6 speed manual trans more than anything else. Seats look...stiff.
