Well, this is a Full Fat Range Rover owners' forum so we're all seeking some degree of justification

I wonder if it would look better with the longer rear window/roof ahead of the shorter one?
Or both the same/longer size and a slimmer 'D' pillar?
Keeping the forward-rear tyres flat does keep i ... |

I remember reading the summary of a study into this not so long ago...
