Thread: D3 to D4 Facelift?

The idea of the unpainted durable arches seemed to be very smart as at least they will absorb some abuse for a long time before needing to be changed and - in a perfect world - they would not be too expensive to replace after a while with new genuine.

No one biting on my poor man's RRS comment as what is now the real difference between them other than a different profile and very minor cosmetics? Seems odd.

The cynic in me says that the actual cost of production differs maybe <5% between the D4 and RRS and maybe 5-10% between RRS and FFRR yet they charge nearly 100% more between D4 and FFRR (remember the FFRR only got TR in the last edition and does not have 7 seats).

I know people who acknowledge that the D4 is the better overall package but is not not 'expensive' enough for them socially!!! (although they don't say this) I just wish the D4 was kept less shiny so there was clearer differentiation between the products.

Like you mine is a 2009 so has the C/C bits.

There's no denying the D4 is nicer looking & more luxurious inside, but I actually prefer the 'rugged' appearance of the D3 interior - otherwise you'd just buy a RR.
