Discovery Brake Lights
Was following a new shape Discovery home tonight, and paying more than passing attention as it's kind of on the list... But I became mesmerised by how small the brake lights are , they are tiny and somehow almost on the outside of the rear light clusters. Of course there is a big central high level LED bar but the left and right just seem ridiculously small on a vehicle as big as the discovery.
I did wonder if there was a fault and the actual brake lights were out so it cut over to the fogs, like some cars can do? Anybody else noticed this? |

It’s to divert your attention from the hideous off centre license plate design!

It also made me wonder what the smallest, trivial thing is enough to turn people away. For me these tails lights might be enough. Also the fake chrome exhaust tips on the SQ5 make it a no go. It’s silly really as both are very good and capable cars yet I’m turned off by totally trivial aspects

I assume they sacked that team, and then hired some with much better skills to design the Velar! |

Also worryingly close to the RRS in price - the disco is more practical but less premium feeling.

Neighbour had the disco 5, a good upgrade comfort wise to their old disco sport.... however they want to get rid already - personally i think its as the house opposite has a velar!
But cost wise why would you go disco when you can get a RRS, unless you need a 7 seater?! |

To my eyes its very sleek from the side, the front grill is a bit odd looking and the back end looks horrible. The rear bumper design isnt very asthetic imo. |

I would rather take a Disco than a velar.
