2013 Range Rover Sport SDV6 HSE Stornoway Grey

I can see the pairing with Pininfarina and Jaguar but the LR design team are very good at doing their own thing, they don't get everything right 1st time but they haven't done badly in the last 60 years with their iconic designs. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

S, what's wrong with the D3 design, it's does exactly what it was designed to do - be the only car a big family will ever need to take their stuff to the tip, tow a caravan and be a people mover, only Volvo do big family cars better.
The D3 is far superior a design to the Disco2. OK so it looks like a Tranny Van from some angles but it's going to be very difficult for LR to improve on it when it comes to D4 time. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

I suppose the D3 isn't meant to appeal to anyone. D3 buyers buy it not because it looks good and LR are fortunate that is the case. It's an ugly car, but I appreciate it does it's job very well. From a looks point of view, I actually prefer the D2 to be honest although it's nowhere near as good a car as the D3.

Loose shed loads of weight Jay, and make them do more than 40mpg and 0-60 in less than 7 seconds at the same time, with a petrol engine! They don't need to change the exterior, just what the cars are made of 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Just like a BMW 3 series I guess

The D3 is the best looking van on the market. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten
2009 Alaska TDV8 - Gone and much missed.

As I have said before - Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I quite like it's "utilitarian" shape but then I think the X5 and X3, Toureg and Tiguan, and Cayenne and Q7 and now Q5 are all ugly as sin................................. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
