I do believe though, that the D4 and D5 could sit side by side in the showroom and both sell.
I'm open minded, I will give it a good look over and if I don't like what I see then I'm more than happy to keep my current one.
When the D4 line stopped its stripped out & the D5 line installed & worked up to production status..
Maybe the old line will go elsewhere (India ?)BREXIT - done properly.

I know it can't happen, all I'm saying is there is a market for both.23.5MY Defender 90 X-Dynamic SE D250 MHEV Pangea Green
It will interesting to see what the new Defender (or whatever its called) actually is as the Defender morphed from a basic agricultural vehicle into many things - it was a platform for adaptation.
I'm sure that J/LR agent going to abandon the market sector that is a legend in its own right

I'll stick with my 'old' D4 for sometime though; maybe last of the 'old' schoolish LR's - that's why we bought one...Communication is the breakfast of champions...

.... and you didn't mention why the rear wheel is considerably smaller than the front wheel.
