In the USA I’m starting to see about 2 a week, I currently see 10+ D3’s and D4’s a day. As previously mentioned I’m still waiting to see someone who has put different wheels on the D5 with a smaller offset. I think this would perhaps shrink the back end. 16 D4 Landmark
05 D3 HSE V8
THE original D4 spotter

It saddens me to see where the brand is heading. The sales figures for a new model are low however people dress them up. I know the local dealers are struggling to shift them. One Dealer Principal told me that they know it's "not a looker but it grows on you" ...
The discounts are at levels I last saw in 2008 in the middle of the banking crisis but i was range Rover customer then. Odd that a new model is being discounted when the D4 had a six month wait a year after its launch.

Although I have no idea where Del lives but i am sure it is lovely too 
Has anyone done a side by side comparison of D4 first year sales v D5 first year - I would be intrigued to see the data. maybe I will look at it tomorrow over a coffee.
