Looks like they’re still making Land Rovers. Just not for me. From Digital Trends:

It will be available with features like adaptive cruise control and hill descent control, and you can safely bet your next paycheck on the fact that the Defender will have a massive touchscreen in the center console. Bluetooth connectivity and voice commands? Check and check. Well-equipped models will even boast creature comforts like leather-upholstered heated seats and, possibly, a digital instrument cluster, features the original truck could only dream of.

What, I wonder, is the essence of a Land Rover? Is there such a thing as essence for a vehicle. It’s like going to see a legendary rock band whose original members are all dead. All that’s left is the name. Can you really say you saw the Rolling Stones if Mick and Keith are gone?
