The bending moments would have popped the sunroof out of an Explorer had it even got to the top.
HAHA, great visual.

Having a Disco 2 I'd also argue the LR3/LR4 should be viewed the same way, the LR3/LR4 feel like a completely different vehicle as well (not that it's a bad thing). Similar things happen with other companies as well. E21/E30 to E36/E46 to E90/F30 in the BMW world is also a fair comparison to D1/D2 to LR3/LR4 to D5.
Though I do agree it is similar to RRS in styling and interior the pricing isn't too far off (comparable specs actually don't make it that much cheaper - at least not materially - if you can afford $80k you can likely afford the $85k the similar RRS costs) but I do believe the drive characteristics is still very similar to the LR4 (note I traded in both an LR4 and RRS at the same time for D5). It really is like if they had a child - though I'll admit it's more like a 60/40 RRS/LR4 split in terms of DNA transferred.
The RRS and D5 are very different in function and size.
Not really. In terms of interior and exterior they are nearly identical:
