We are keeping both of our 05 D3's, since now car manufactures are going back to the square design again. D3 is a modern classic. Look how much the New Defender looks like it.
Yes, LR should have modernised the D4 as Mercedes has done with the G-Wagen. đź‘Ť2006 D3 HSE (Original & still the best)-GONE

Got to say the D5 looks far superior.
The D4 is old hat now. It was good at the time, but now it looks so dated. It belongs with Beta VCRs, CD players, Sinclair Spectrums and the like.

A design that's "right" will always look good. Visiting from rrsport.co.uk

Nope.
It looks like an aged Skoda in honesty, but each to their own.

It’s the same story with the FFRR, I quite like the styling of my L405, but it’s nowhere near as significant as the original.

The L405 is obviously a Range Rover, it's obvious that it is a progression of the line. The D5 isn't an obvious progression of the Discovery line - it's a very different design language (to me anyway).Visiting from rrsport.co.uk

We’ve got a make believe split tailgate as an acknowledgement to the past Disco heritage, but more over it’s an evolutionary process and better for it.
