The colour choices are poor
6x Grey/Silver
2x Black
2x White
1x dark Blue
1x Dark Green
2x Reds
1x Orange
1x pale brown
she's really spoiling us
Interior choices on the SE, is Black only as now one in their right mind, would take Acorn, looks like the dog has all over the seats. Mind I haven't seen it in the flesh though.
My first impression sitting the D5 interior wasn't the use harmonious colours, it was the pain I felt from banging my head on the A pillar.
I struggled with colour, there was nothing I fancied, the Orange was the only one that stuck out and thats £1600, but at least its got glass floating pigs or whatever it is she said.23.5MY Defender 90 X-Dynamic SE D250 MHEV Pangea Green

All these posts have really made me laugh I'm reminded of this quote, from years ago:
"Good design needs no explanation, but bad design needs considerable oratory skill to be passed off as good"
Judging by the amount of laughter and the bull***t detector's needle being buried deep into the red, she's still got a way to go until she's able to properly fool anyone other than LR's interview board. And The Telegraph (apparently)

They were so right... it's the difference between talented designers and bullsh1t artists!
It's quite shocking how far away the D5 has moved away from this design ethos. Selling fashion will undoubtably do well at first... but things fall out of fashion just as quickly!2005 D3 HSE 2011 D4 Landmark 2016 D4 HSE Lux

^ ^ Looks dated now in that video.In the Beginning there was nothing, which exploded.
....when to sell (more) cars stylists are engaged to tweak colours - on what is or was a Sports UTILITY vehicle. and Rovers were about being capable in conditions & uses that other cars or vehicle couldnt cope..
Its odd to think that having interior furnishings in a car that create ambiance... me.
I hope & trust the trusty workhorse Defender isnt treated this way...this is a working vehicle....for those who will use it for thier "job" that entails load carrying, towing, use off road.
Not how it looks but what it does & is capable of beyond that x a lot
The way it should be but sadly isntBREXIT - done properly.
Right now ...We need Government - not Politics
Save the Dipstick Flagbearer-keep it simple, less likely to fail campaign-agenda items:Starting Handles, Acetylene Lamps.
Founder: Dipsticks-R-Us Inc
D3 HSE-perfectly formed, passenger friendly...has real DIPSTICK
Jag XK-but sadly no DIPSTICK...HUGE design fault
FL2 has DIPSTICK..."real comfort in rear seats"
VW Golf wondermobile (?)..has real DIPSTICK
Morris Minor..original DIPSTICK technology..and a real KEY.
