20s.... IFS/IRS. Hybrid. Nail in coffin..
There doesn't look to be a whole lot of room between the rotor and the wheel (~1:35 min) to put a smaller wheel on there (without replacing the brakes).so long as the lug pattern supports something smaller.
You have to understand Rovers definition of "most capable" differs greatly from yours or mine. It will perform GREAT in Moab. All that electronic wizardry will be marvelous in that environment. What it won't be is a Camel Trophy truck or something you want to take in the rocks or mud of unknown depths, etc.
Hadn't thought of that. I wouldn't imagine it would be too easy to find a smaller brake system that doesn't require a bunch of headache.
Depending on how those new electronic systems are set up, it may be nearly impossible if they don't offer a set from the factory.
They might, though. It's possible. They've said they intend this to be the most capable vehicle out there; putting even the G500 to shame. I don't see that happening if 20" wheels are the only option, but this new traction stuff is pretty good, if questionable in regard to reliability.
I still think those bumps on the rear corners look like rivets under the cladding. I doubt they're functional if that's the case, but I still see this managing to look pretty good, at the very least.
If a cloth top for the rear is offered, it could still be a nice general utility vehicle around town.

Anyone notice the spare tire on the back door went missing by the end of the video?
They were two different vehicles - the short wheelbase had the spare on the rear door - at the end of the video that was a LWB with a different license plate.Anyone notice the spare tire on the back door went missing by the end of the video?

You nerds are dreaming if you think the next gen is going to be anything other than a vehicle to pick up Winston III at the local prep school. Then possibly be used for their bi-curious "dad" to hit up local REI, to check out the latest sea kayaks and maybe brunch with Phillip, his tennis "partner".
Seriously though. The brand is dead. The latest traction control gizmoids are fine and dandy and will pop the cherries of all those urban warriors, but does little to nothing where you guys talk about driving. You can take an Outback or Tahoe places you'd never expect. So what. I prefer to support brands that have my interests in mind and actually build them. Not some frilly wanna be lifestyle brand that only has a history of what some current brands are creating. Stop living in the past fellas. She's gone and is now a transgender whore living on the streets of St. Paul.
That D5 seems goofy and out of place between those other two...
