Comparing D's 3 & 4 with the D5, does this photo tell us everything we need to know about the visibility through the back window and just how effective the "stepped roof" will be in maintaining the current car's headroom in rows 2 and 3?2011 - 2015: 3 x FL2
2015 - 2017: 2 x D4
2017 to date: FFRR SDV8
2023 to date: 2 x FL2 as “second” cars 🙄

Again going back to the DS, the headroom wasn't too bad for a car with a sloped roofline. The rear visibility I don't will be too in comparison to the current one, it's forward visibility is a concern of mine, if it's anything like the Evoque and DS you won't see much of the bonnet.23.5MY Defender 90 X-Dynamic SE D250 MHEV Pangea Green

Apparently this forum has been hacked by Mums Net (info from the Mods)
Nearly as bad as the thread on the subject over at the increasingly annoying Pistonheads.
Call me old fashioned but I'll wait until I can see one in the metal, touch it, feel it, drive it, etc before I decside whether the world is about to end and nostaligia isn't what it used to be etc etc.
Then I'll probably buy one FFRR Vogue SE - Waitomo

There will be a Disco SVX, which is what that photoshop is supposed to be. So it shouldn't be too hard to modify the standard car, that's assuming the standard car has all the fitting points of the SVX.23.5MY Defender 90 X-Dynamic SE D250 MHEV Pangea Green

My thoughts too, i did have one thought earlier. I've always had a rear ladder for access up top, will be a pretty interesting design to get over the rear spoiler MY06 S - Gone but not forgotten
