Tiz a revealing photo that one high up on the ridge though (which has been mirrorflipped by the way, unless Land Rover are buying PH RelgNarw tyres from RaeyDoog, despite LR's best photoshop attempts to disguise the mirror ) - its the only one that gives you any glimpse of the underside
The front of the front wheelarch doesn't fit neatly into the front bumper
The bottom corner of the headlamp is not perfectly aligned to the wing edge
Exhaust downpipes look the same as on the D3
edit: I've found the fifth camera, but I'm not ging to say - lets see who else can find it Steve N | 21MY Defender | 08MY Discovery 3 (history) | 06MY Discovery 3 (ancient history)
But I think that Rear Light Cluster is hiding something....

Think so? My front lights have something very similar in the indicator bit, which is just used to stick an extra sidelight type bulb into.

I can't imagine that LR would show a vehicle with any feature that's not available from LR.

I reckon if they put a black grille on it will appeal to those who don't want the shine and 'bling' of the RRS-type one.
Makes it look a bit more rugged.
Would also be interesting to see what it looks like with some off-road equipment attached - would a great plastic RAI and bashed silver sump guard clash with the concept of a 'premium' off-roader
OH NO! They've done to the grill what they did to the D2 over the D1 grill, ugly, ugly 2013 D4, E-diff, Vision pack

...........................Am I the only dissenting voice here? Why the hell have they turned a functional on/off road vehicle into another Range Rover Clone?????? if you want a range rover sports Buy One!
Cant see the wheel arch eyebrows or the lower bumper plastics lasting long on a green lane and I dread to think what that interior will look like after a run round the forest in Wales.
Not wanting to appear as a Luddite but for me this is a step backwards, I will definitely be sticking with Tallulah instead of rushing off to my dealership!

With only 1.5k of km on my D3 this will not be a prority for me. Two/Three years from now will be fine.
So, sign me up for one in March 2012, by then there will surely be a wealth of information available on Disco4.co.uk and I will not have to solve any of the issues arriving myself!
In the meantime my permagrin will not diminish one single iota as I revel in my new possession.Took delivery 20 March, first 1000km completed, I love this vehicle!

And thats the point (Ken ) - the same thoughts were going round my head about unsuitability for off-piste but there's plenty of FFRR's that do it, so it doesn't matter how far upmarket it goes, the D4 can and will still do it.
I think a little wager may be in order soon, which one of our fair number will be first to get their D4 photographed going through VA's crossing or descending Roych Clough in the Peaks or Geronimo at Boughrood Steve N | 21MY Defender | 08MY Discovery 3 (history) | 06MY Discovery 3 (ancient history)
