I just don't care for the styling and think it lacks the distinction of the current LR4 and last FF RR. I like most of the styling of the new FF RR except for the headlights, and I am very turned off by the new Sport. It just doesn't look like a Rover should, even setting aside the similarities with the Explorer. (I have a larger problem with the industry's movement to "crossovers" - kind of like all season tires, too much of a compromise / not good at much. And they uniformly look awful.)
I have seen a few of the new Disco Sports and they look cheap, I would expect a similar first impression when we see the "LR5". I will still try it and we may buy one down the road, depending on how it drives. I have driven the new RR Sport a few times and I didn't like it. The steering was awfully numb, the was a noticeable low frequency vibration (likely from the aluminum construction), and quite a lot of road noise/tire roar. This occurred in both the 5.0 Supercharged version and a base. It is honestly the last thing I would want to spend my money on. Maybe a new Defender will
