Quote: "Regulatory changes will force some design modifications for 2016". I didn't say it won't change, but it's certainly not going to be as radical as the Ener-G Force. |

This concept car gives a hint how it would look like: www.spiegel.de/auto/aktuell/studie-ener-g-force-mercedes-enthuellt-moeglichen-g-modell-nachfolger-a-867432.html Jeep Wrangler is okay because this law is only for models sold in europe. The rule says that the front has to be smoother in case of degree in rising higher. So the high front is still possible but has to be rounder. A new Defender could be possible but i think they have so many models in their range that they dont see any reason to keep the Defender. Your link is from two years ago.

Mercedes-Benz and Jeep are able to continue the G-Class and Wrangler, so I don't understand why Land Rover thinks they have to discontinue the Defender... Actually thats wrong.
