The rear yellow number plate does look taller than normal which isn't helping.

love the look from all angles except the back. Where are the chaps with the photo shop skills? we need to see it with a square plate, not sure the blank space will look more awkward
Still might pull the trigger and order one, waiting till they are on the road and have test driven the petrol.MY06 S - Gone but not forgotten

The D3 rear end took some getting used to for me, no spare wheel, made it look like a van, so ugly went for the Sport instead.
Maybe this will grow on me, but to be honest its that "hole effect" created by the rear & side glass that's not working for me D4 Landmark MY16 Santorini Black THE LAST

Didn't buy my D4 for looks, to my eyes the D5 is the first good looking Discovery.Peter

I've decided that, for me, its the C pillar that is the problem. It slopes forward and just ruins the appearance of the profile. If you cover that up and look at the profile again it looks ok! If I get a black car with privacy glass it will be fine!

As much a I want too like it, I just don’t!
Hopefully I will change when you start seeing them around, I felt like that when I first saw the Discovery Sport when compared to the old Freelander 2 but quite like them now Club Narpy Torch

That's straight up reminds me of something my Dad would have said.
I went with him when the FL2 first came out so he could order one, he had put on a few bits and bobs and i was trying to get him to put on Privacy Glass...
"Privacy Glass" He spouted in his broad Yorkshire accent !
"Waht the blinding hell do i want Privacy Glass for? If i'm doing anything anything in the back of that i don't want bloody privacy, at my age i want people to see what i'm up to"Only dead fish go with the Flow !

So has LandRover explained this and why is it out of the ordinary against the rest of car?
Perhaps have a explorer boot instead then we all might buy one .
