Prototype D5 in white
Parked next to this white prototype on Saturday hopefully they are going to change the boot as it looks odd.

If so I agree!
.... I have changed my mind, it seemed like a successful trait but now in reality I also think it does not work, and just because in this car, unlike the D3, it is unnecessary in the first place and that shows only a pure aesthetics motivation... and that... squeal. The original idea of functionality and cleanliness of shapes in D3 has been changed by an aesthetic artifice and that is seen...so it´s not credible ... maybe a large square plate would improve it but it does not fit...IMHOlost in translation!

Now that really is an ugly looking car. The D3 parked beside it looks so much better. IMHO...

D3/4s will still stand proud next to the D5, in the same way a previous shape FFRR still looks good next to an new shape one.
But the new shape FFRR looks good, purposeful and "right"
The inside of the D5 is a nice place to be from my brief sit, but the outside is just wrong.Mark.

It makes the D3 look fantastic
The first mod I would do is order a narrower number plate and move it over to the centre.
