Funny you should say that. I was only saying to friend yesterday, that with hindsight I shouldn't have sold my D3. I should have kept it and got another car to use for work.2006 D3 HSE (Original & still the best)-GONE
2010 D4 HSE (A bit bling)-GONE
2014 D4 HSE (Almost too bling)-GONE
2015 D4 HSE (A heated what?)-GONE
2016 D4 Landmark (Written Off)-GONE

I do remember there was a lot of raised eyebrows about the styling when I first got a D3 in 2005. So far as my mates were concerned, I'd spent a lot of money on a van that had rear windows
The D3 was a massive improvement on the D2, the D4 took it on further and one assumes the D5 will go further still.
For me it will purely come down to price. If they inflate it much above the current D4 prices it will quite simply be a No No, good vehicle or not.
But looking at current LR pricing I don't hold out much hope. Ventured into a LR dealer for SWMBO to take a look at a Discovery Sport. By the time she had ticked the options boxes we were above the £40k mark
How they have manage to strangle over £40k out of one of those is beyond me, ridiculously overpriced!!Discovery 4 HSE

This Car article may well have been posted already (possibly even by me ), apologies if it has. It's interesting to read what Jerry McGovern says about the D5 and the Defender replacement. Role on the later.

Does the statement 'increase it's premium execution' roughly translate into 'there's gonna be a massive price hike' Discovery 4 HSE

When they can charge £143 for a £20 fire extinguisher, charging hundreds of £ for other things becomes really easy!Visiting from rrsport.co.uk

They are testing it in Hungary as well. The photos were taken in Budapest, the article does not add any new information to what we generaly know.
I guess they're wearing helmets so they can't be seen and associated with a four-pot Disco!!!
