Practicality and ruggness are not as good, even the D2 was better for these areas, but I have looked around at the rest and it falls far short of what a D4 has.
The Shogun was biggest dissappointment for me seeing as it has been around a good while now, but seemed to of had bits tacked on rather than thoguht out and reconfigured probably. Depreciation looked a whole lot worse on them as well.
Landcruiser 60th anniversary edition looking good but a 6-8 month waitng list and that is for a motor that only comes in one spec.
Perhaps we should design our own, Landrover seem to of taken anything out that may be a potentail problem for health and saftey, suppose we can blame the yanks for thatD4 Landmark MY16 Santorini Black THE LAST

Anyone going to back me up on this?

No, i read somewhere that new D5 will use same floorpan as both RR/SPORT to save on costs of using different chassis as they stated the D4 is a good earner & slot nicely into L/R new portfollio range.
