No not the D6, thats not for another 14 years... We need the D5:5 first, same body, same running gear, tweak the Running lights, change the grille, tweak the engine a tad and pretend the interiors different.

When will people be offering extras for the D5 ?Peter
The list will be huge:
Body kits......to make the already hideous shape even more so
Headlight protectors....that cover as much as a WickedWeasel Bikini
Roof boxes.....to compenssate for the lack of & daft shape of the cargo capabilities
Grilles.....OEM ones & non OEM ones fo rcthise intent of making thier already different vehicle even more different
Exhaust trims......these are frivolous add ons......100% ego boosting stuff
Decals.....that are branded "LandRover" which as banal as it may seem owners may want or even need to make a statement...
Wheel nuts.....that don't swell as the issue of swelling wheel inputs not resolved from D3/4BREXIT - 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.

Isn't there a member on here with a D4 all branded Land Rover? Is he just trying to get attention or is this just exclusive to the D5 owners?
I'm pretty sure LR offered a body kit of some description for the D3, so not a new thing for D5 owners.23.5MY Defender 90 X-Dynamic SE D250 MHEV Pangea Green

Yep, I quite liked those rear ended bumper trims for the rear of a D3, i didnt fancy farting about with the exhaust trim things and the front looked hideous, so putting on the back and leaving the front looked just too wrong, Didnt the D3 also have headlight protectors? stickers etc etc.Only dead fish go with the Flow !

Re the design of the tailgate and number plate placement the Dodge beats the D5 hands down.

But every time you see a D5 in front of you you'll be reminded of the pain you are influcting on the eyes belonging to the driver behind. Your concience will eventually catch up!
