The D5 rear just looks awkward, striking but awkward. If it was just looks I could perhaps get by it but the kicker for me is they lost all functionality of the split gate to boot. See what I did there? lol

An explorer can at least look passable in some trims. Uninspired and bland, but at least not outwardly offensive. There's no saving that d5's dunky ass.
Whoa invoking Aztek. That's Pinto and Gremlin territory.Even next to a case of chlamydia they are unappealing. I see one every day on campus at work and I swear it's one of the only vehicles I've ever encountered that seems to get uglier every day. Hell, even the Pontiac Aztek started to become tolerable once the shock wore off. Not these ugly ass d5s.
For all the disrespect Fiat gets they're doing well. Compare them to Ford announcing losses.Meanwhile, I just read this article about Fiat/Chrysler investing $4.5 billion in a new Jeep plant. Need I point out the differences in design philosophies as each maker's models have evolved?

Nah I understood you. I was in agreement. I wasn't optimistic about Fiat early on but that's changed. Even the new Ram trucks are looking better. I've owned a Cherokee and Grand Cherokee and was happy with both. Hopefully the new Wrangler and Bronco will help LR figure out their design issues. Removing individual style from Discos is just bad business and coming from an iconic upscale brand it doesn't seem well thought out. Maybe desperation has fried some minds over there.Yep, meant no disrespect to Fiat/Chrysler, in fact, the opposite. I was pointing out that with Jeep they have managed to maintain the look/feel/heritage of the brand and still keep pumping out the sales. I agree they jam a lot of content into their cars. I've had 4 Jeeps and the big Chrysler 300C sedan and when comparing model year to model year, all of the new ones ran circles around the various Rovers I've owned when it came to tech in particular.
Yet we still love our Rovers even when the current regime does us dirty!
