I hear you but, in a few weeks agents will have more cars to look at & demos to drive, so you then have time to do your calcs and then pay a refundable deposit in April to get your new car by December.BTW I looked at the grenadier and I reckon it will work well for at least two water on the front of the "roo bar"!. In all honesty that's all I ever use most of the time.
Anyway.. I've been thinking about this a lot over the last couple of days. I really really like the grenadier. I do want a newer more gooder and safer Defender.
I was kind of being pressured for time at the local dealer. They only allocate 1h for inspections. I'd really like to go back there with the defender and tape measure and redo the measurements. Plus the dealer is like put your deposit down and get a car by September. Pressure pressure pressure. I've got a trip on in Sept/oct. I don't want a car then! No time for setup.
I really do think the fuel issue is going to be critical. I need to see what happens in this space. I keep cars for a long time. Once the defender is gone there is no getting it back. I need to make the right call on this. I'd rather go petrol... hopefully once production cars are here someone will announce a big tank soon.
