Re: 2006 Paris Auto Show | Mondial de l’Automobile

Paris is going to be nice, but the surprises a few and far between it seems. Now for those official shots of the Audi R8..............

Yeah, it looks like they've been "facelifting" it for 30 years!

All Land Rovers look old to me including those which have been just presented like Freelander 2.

They didn't see any need to change the exterior, and why should they mess with a classic design anyway? The new engine and new dashboard are what this facelift is all about, and those two improvements mean that the old workhorse can soldier on for several years more.

The Defender is one SUV I've always liked, because it's not a poseur's vehicle... at least not the average poseur's.

Re: 2006 Paris Auto Show | Mondial de l’Automobile

OT but I've been in the back seat of a Defender a couple of times during my military service and believe me, it must be the most uncomfortable back seat I've ever sat on. It forces you to sit in an unnatural position. You can propably imagine that the space was very limited when there were me and two other guys on the back seat with assault rifles, I could barely breathe. Great memories! Also the tranny-stick in the Defender looks funny because its very long.

Hey, at least you had a seat. I only ever travelled in the back of trucks with no seat whatsoever... and these:



And to get this back to topic, the facelifted Defender features forward-facing rear seats.
