I don't think the rear end is as bad as your making it out to be. If anything the front looks odd as the car seems a bit squashed at the windscreen and then flares out. The First Edition does not have the silver insert so I guess we are lucky Laughing

Those loyal to the Land Rover brand do you remember the uproar when the D3 was launched?

Besides I think it looks good! Yes it's lost the traditional slab like design but it looks miles better than the discovery sport! MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior

To be fair to the hideous Rodius, as a car capable of seating up to 11 people, in 4 rows of seats, it never compromised its abilities in the search for style.

The D5 could be likened to the practical and sensible middle aged dad who suddenly realises he's having a mid life crisis and wants to dress and behave like he's a teenager again; it requires his real friends to stop him from making a fool of himself! Rolling Eyes Laughing

yes I hated the D3 initially, I think it turned out to be ahead of its time as I got used to it At work

The Discovery Sport took its influences from the Vision Concept which is the D5, so it's the other way round IMO. The family look has worked for the German manufacturers for long enough. 21MY Defender 90 S 3.0 D200

But the Rodius is unique ..... must be the only vehicle on the road with a dormer extension.

It has indeed, although it must be so uninspiring for their designers to have the task of re-designing the Golf / the 3 Series / Porsche 911 etc. etc. for the 7th or 8th time in a row!

Alternatively, if this is the way to go, why did LR throw away the evolutionary progression through all of the previous Disco's and arguably, back the the Series Land Rovers before them?

I drove the new Discovery today and it is a nice drive! However in the middle seats you do get thrown around. Also if you boot it around the corners the car does lean. Personally I don't mind the leaning... I loved it as a kid in my dad's D1 and RRC. However with a lighter body on top now I would have assumed there would be minimal lean. Being a off road car I'm happy if it does lean but I was just a bit taken back how much it did roll. Maybe that's why there is grab handles at the sides now as well as at the back Whistle MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior
