So my SIL who lives in Colorado sent me this pic of an SUV doing testing. She thought new Bronco but seems too short to me. Thoughts?

If its not a Land Rover, they certainly want us to think that it is.

That was my immediate thought.  LR4?

It is the new Defender 

 

D90 (5 or 6 seater), D110, and 8 passenger D130 coming

Immediately recognized it as the new Defender. It's a shame that it appears to be related to the Evoque, there's something...blasphemous about that.

after all the leaks.. they might as well pull the wraps and just properly test production vehicles at this point.. 

 

i realize thats not going to happen.

I had one of those behind me on my evening commute the other night...red with a red tinted windshield. It was aggressively distasteful.

Well that would certainly make it harder for people to actually identify and 'out' the new models being tested.

I wonder if the crowd that is into wrapping cars have scanned all the Automakers "camo"  so they can resell it to  wrap an old beater in official "Bentley camo"

Honestly on something like this I don't get the camo treatment. 95% of people on the road, including me, wouldn't even give it a second look if it was in it's full production guise.

In reply to freetors :

Because they want people to see it and go "hey what's that"
