United Kingdom 2010 Range Rover SE Td6 Zermatt Silver
L405 Rear End

I just spent 15 minutes following a 2013 L405 Autobiography on the way to Amersham half an hour ago and noted the following:

1. The rear lights look small & squidgy compared to the L322
2. The Autobiography badge has switched to the left when looking at boot (from right)
3. The Black Oval LR Badge has returned but know on the right hand side.
4. TDV8 Exhaust finishers are more central and just visible
5. Driving in my L322 I could see half of the roof of the L405 - it seemed much lower than I was.

I am not taken with the rear view although personally I do think its an amazing car Thumbs Up

United Kingdom 2011 Range Rover Vogue SE TDV8 Buckingham Blue

I followed one in traffic last week, and feel much the same way.

The roof line at the rear is not as high as the L322, Must have quite a smaller boot.

The car did look well when you looked down the flanks though.

Rear lights look too small, in comparison.

Can't see me ever being able to afford one though. 2011 Range Rover Vogue SE 4.4 TDV8

aerodynamicists to blame here: it does look a bit ungainly though!
