At the risk of going off piste with this thread, I think the front is way worse than the back. It’s those small headlights that remind me of Capt Mainwaring squinting without his glasses. Whistle

I’m quite happy with that, esp since I know I’m correct in my mind. Thumbs Up Thumbs Up

Mind you SWMBO thinks the side profile all wrong. It’s like 3 different design teams worked on the front, sides & rear then stuck them together. I can just imagine how that meeting went. Laughing Laughing

I’ve no doubt that in 20 years time a mint original example of an early D3, will be both more desirable and valuable than an early model D5.




They'll have all rusted away by then. There'll not be the market for aftermarket chassis etc that we saw for defender and series. Even D2s are proving a tough job to re-chassis economically
 I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

Adding tacky graphics to fix a design blunder will not fix this. I tried to like this but I do not. New Kia Sorento on its way for me, fully loaded. Still got my D3. LR got that styling right, pity about the drive-train.
