Has LR ever made an uglier vehicle? Or a less popular one? Visiting from rrsport.co.uk

It’s the 5th or 6th one I’ve had, I try to blank the memories.
I can’t get comfortable, due to the design of the headlining. Some eejit thought it would look nice to have a smoother curve from the outer edge (above the door tops) inwards. Which means if I get a comfortable seat position, I have to tilt my neck to the left. No such issue in the D4, FFRR, DS, Velar even the new shape Evoque. I’ve not driven the current RRS yet, but I’ve sat in one a few times and think it was okay.2006 D3 HSE (Original & still the best)-GONE

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder...
When compared to the Velar, new Evoque, RRS and FFRR it’s a mystery how they got the D5 proportions and design so wrong. Interestingly the same design DNA is so much more successful in the smaller DS.2006 D3 HSE (Original & still the best)-GONE
