My one gripe about the new Land Rover Range Rovers design.

That ugly silver line. I've been on the fence about it for a while, but I've seen enough to say that I do not like them.

It looks better with the vents silver

I think I'd look like a Ford Explorer without it. Not saying I like the silver line, but for some reason it defines the car.

Indeed, but still not great. I guess the only way to avoiding it is getting the car in silver.

There's an option to paint it body colored on the LR website, if I remember correctly.

They've been getting uglier with each progressive redesign for some time now.

Does range rover not have a custom house to order how you like? 99% sure they could fix that minor issue for you.

Yeah, but have you ever mistaken a LR RR for a Ford Explorer?

Hmm, let me go check!

I think its point, as much as anything, is to define an imaginary bottom line to the car - i.e. to make an imaginary shape of a Range Rover Classic above the line. Go ahead, tell me I'm wrong.

As to why, fuck if I know... "Because Heritage" or something.

Erase the body below the line: voila, Range Rover classic. Which, as a design feature, derp.

This is my gripe about the design. Fake, stylistic fender vents.

The wheels have always looked like a flower to me for some reason lol

I thought they were functional though. If not, I don't like them either!

The previous gen were functional, the current model's are...essentially...stickers. If there were real vents and not just makeup they would be venting the door and not the engine bay.
