Would fender flares possibly help?

I must reiterate the importance of "going with the flow" trafficwise when driving on our SW streets with no storm sewers during rainy season. The LR simply can't keep up w'out the blinding splashes. Drive slower, risk being rear-ended.
The reason is simple...the front tires are located just behind the front bumper. Good for off road approach angle, bad for splashing water forward then you drive into it. Best fix is to buy a vehicle with the front wheels set farther back with more hood and front fender in front of the wheels. Most Audis have wheels placed just below or behind the engine.
Or leave your wipers on automatic so that the rain sensor will activate the wipers as soon as you drive into the splashed-up water.
So true, my kids love when I drive through a deep puddle and the tidal wave of water comes up and over the entire windshield. I get the "do it again" request and have to aim for the next deep puddle.
