A replacement for the Land Rover Defender is reportedly under works. The new SUV has been given the greenest of green lights by parent company Tata. The now 62-year-old go-anywhere-and-then-some truck is expected in 2014, and is being worked on now under the codename Project Icon.

Although it may look like that nothing has yet been decided about Project Icon other than its codename and its status in the line-up, which is at the very top. Coming up with a new retail name for the Defender line and finding a way to differentiate it from the previous model will be part of the work to be done, as well as coming…

The Land Rover Defender may not be a best seller in North America in the last couple of years, but it continued to thrive in other parts of the world. Now the dated workhorse will give way to a thoroughly modernized variant reportedly codenamed Project Icon for the 2012 model year

The Land Rover LRX was first revealed at the 2008 Detroit Auto Show. It has been almost two years since the unveiling of the LRX and now Land Rover has finally confirmed that it will send the LRX onto production.

“Feedback from our customer research also fully supports our belief that a production version of the LRX Concept would further raise the desirability of…
