Now this is real automotive journalism.  Thank you.

No hud is a crime in a tech heavy vehicle like this.

These are very handy if your bed is in or on top of your vehicle.

You might want to read my post again. I specifically said that both the Canadian government and the WHO recommended NOT changing travel plans. Of course I was going to get it in a country of 46 million people with 58 documented cases.  That’s not a reasonable statement unless you have the benefit of hindsight.

Here’s the WHO’s take on it as of March 1st:

You want to explain that to me when the government said otherwise at the time? Hindsight is 20/20. Go fuck yourself.

I’m on day 21 of isolation in Canada with my girlfriend. We have both been very sick, but are nearly completely recovered now. At one particularly bad point for me, as we went to bed, I walked my girlfriend through what to do if I was too sick in the morning to call 911, or completely unresponsive. I felt like I had a…

There are a couple of issues with EVs as dedicated off-road or exploration vehicles that I don’t see solutions for any time soon.

I am not a renowned world traveler by any means, but holy crap were the cars bad in Sitges Spain. The streets in the core are incredibly narrow, and parking is literally bumper to bumper... as in you know when to stop when you’ve bumped the car in front or behind you. It seemed like there wasn’t a single undamaged car…

I thought this was a ridiculous take at first, and then I went and played around with the options lists on various trim levels... and ok, yup.

Brady’s is better.  I’ve lost count of how many car “journalists” have called the raised air intake a “snorkel” and specifically said its for crossing deep water.

Breaking News:  Musk says things.  More at 11.... wait... I’m being told there isn’t actually more.  Lets go to weather.

A little further down I go into my reasoning a bit more on comparing the two, if you want to read a mind-dump lol

Its tough for me, because I look at some of the stuff I do in my JK and I realize that the new Defender simply would not be able to keep up. It is made to a different purpose. That being said, I’m not sure I’m going to continue to want to do the hardcore stuff for the lifespan of my next vehicle. My last large…

But why on earth would LR make something like that in 2020? They’ve already lost out to other companies in the “farm tractor” segment. I’m not sure about the UK, but everywhere else is using smaller, cheaper, more reliable (and in many cases Chinese) platforms. They aren’t going to retool completely to make some body…

That’s what the old Defender is.  The new Defender is to the current LR lineup what the old Defender was to the past LR lineup.  The fact that you’re comparing it to a Freelander is just ridiculous.

Haters are everywhere for this thing. This was never meant to be a farm tractor or a rock crawler.

Ugh, don’t remind me.  I really should be tackling the hinge corrosion on my JK right now.  But it’s going to be such a pain in the ass that I’m literally avoiding it like the plague. 

Best take.

Uhhhh....
