Saw this:
All I see on Evoques is a headlight that doesn't fit the hole they made. Same with the taillights. Elsewhere, more that doesn't make sense, for example the 405's tail lights are just confused: Lone designer: Guys we need to stack the lights, that's a Vogue hallmark. Gerry: We need to smudge them horizontally into the body like the Evoque. 50 meetings later: we've found a solution that can do both, don't worry. Lone designer: Errr not sure guys. it looks like an L bracket that hold up shelves. Gerry: We're doing this, It'll work.
Can't unsee that now, sorry . The other poorly thought out 'feature' is the trim under the rear tail light: 
Gills in the door? Not sure. Maybe, can't make up my mind. Whilst doesn't offend, never made too much sense. Flicking back that line along the bottom of the doors? Ok sure. Connecting that to the bottom of the lights? Looks a bit powerpoint to me. Best way to deal with that whole trim is to colour code it the lot, it's not something to show off. .

You produce more convincing looking PhotoShop images than AE’s contributors do |

At best that would be the next facelift - not the the next generation...... It's 95% L405 with a few superficial tweaks |

It will supposedly be an "evolution" of the L405 look - so more Velar cues, pop-out handles etc. I expect it to look less like a proper Range Rover - let's hope they've resisted the urge to make the driving position even more car-like. |

I’ve never noticed the ‘405 to be ‘car like’, it’s just like my old D4 was. I take it you’re referring to pretty much everything that came after? |

Well, there's certainly a change from L322 to L405 - the window line is higher, the screen pillars are a bit more raked, the centre console is a bit higher. |

I’ve not sat in one since 2011 when I parked up my Freeloader 2 to drool over one in a showroom!

But you still sit high and very much with your lower legs at a more vertical angle than in a typical car |

If anyone feels that the ‘405 feels like it has a car like driving position, may I “recommend” trying one of these?:

This thread's a bit mixed and I'd like to talk more about the McGovern design direction, so spun off that into here: https://www.fullfatrr.com/forum/post534157.html#534157
