Happy to go there - Its taken me ages to decide to go for the D5 - I have derided its end plenty of times on here, but after a couple of test drives (one for 3 days) it showed just how much things have moved on, and the D5 drivers postion is a very nice place to veiw the road when compared to even the latest D4, so all I hope now is the D5 lives up to its predecessors

Actually if I had to pick a favourite (and it’s a hard call) it would probably be the Blue D3 XS.

First one is the best. Classic clean styling. No unneeded bling and form following function. Perfect. Can JLR not bring back the chap who designed it?
