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

I am drooling over the pictures too much to offer a coherent reply.

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]

Hi all,

Just letting you know I'm lucky enough to live the dream over here in Australia. Got myself a 2011 Defender 110 Limited Edition Xtec (narva bronze colour). It's my first Defender and I absolutely love everything about it, even its quirks and jerks !!

Hope you get them over there soon !!

photo 1.jpg photo 2.jpg photo 4.jpgVery nice BUT.................so very very EVIL to tell the rest of us poor dickheads in the US of A about it. You are creating a mass depression syndrome. I'm glad somebody's got one however. Cheers.

I really loathe you for showing us these awesome Defenders! All I really want is a newish 110 or LC 78....

UGLY. Having seen one in the flesh those headlights and grille are just ugly compared to the old style.

EPA and DOT can suck it...

Awesome first post! Welcome to Expedition Portal!

Meh. I'm not a fan of the front clip. I see wheels like that at the mall on F250's that look like they've been tag-teamed by catalogs from Summit Racing and Tapco.

I do like the color scheme and the tires.

To each his own.

Edit: I suppose that this post would be a 'nay'. I'll prepare for the torrent of ExPo not-hate.

Anyone else think it's weird that the Goodyear MT/Rs are the old discontinued tread pattern? Those haven't been available in the USA for 3-4 years.

Could you not show left-hand drive Defenders, please? It just makes it more painful.
