Even in the customer LR parking at Gatcombe there were hardly any D5s
Yeah, if there was one place you'd expect to see the latest Land Rover, the Land Rover car park of a major equestrian event in the Cotswolds would be it.

Should be cutting prices not putting them up? Especially as they are rumoured not to be flying off the production line as others .

LR must be satisfied.
Seeing more and more up here.

Still only see one around here where I'd expect to see loads of a new LR product, I see more and more RR2s, plus the usual amount of late D4s, FFs and ePokes. But on the ugly scale it (the D5) is beaten by a Tesla X model just down the road.

I have seen 3 on my travels
Compared to the masses of D4/DS/Evoque/RRS2, I'd suggest it's one of LR's slowest selling models (North of the border at least)My D3 Build Thread

But D4/DS/RRS have been on sale longer than 6 months.
In Fife there is whites, blacks, greens, Oranges, reds and one sandy (Luxor or something) coloured oh and grey.
There isn't masses of them but definitely becoming more a common sight on the road.23.5MY Defender 90 X-Dynamic SE D250 MHEV Pangea Green

I'm just not seeing them in Bath, although there is now one in my village and I followed one with a roof box driving badly north up the A34 from Winchester towards the M4. I wish I had your reg to shame you because you caused a big tailback hogging the outside lane and blocking traffic!
Anyway, moving on. Lots of RRS2, DS, Evokes and FFRR but no D5 yet at school, which is a homage to the LR brand. One of the mums who changes her car every two years has decided to keep her D4 because ' the new Discovery 5 is really ugly and not as good at doing what the D4 does'. If I were LR I would be worried that their target market of yummy mummys is not buying in what I would have thought would be a target market, a private school in a wealthy professional city.New Defender L663 110 SE (known as Noddy!)

I'm in the Cotswolds on the Wilts / Gloucestershire border and I typically see a handful every time I venture out. I think they're just not easy to spot as they're less distinctive than other models. Despite the number I've seen they're still not growing on me.
One pulled up next to me at the top of Blunsdon Hill a few weeks ago decked out in sponsorship from a major equestrian event. My overriding impression was just how mahoosive it seemed.2016 Skoda Octavia VRS Estate
