Same occured with the D3/D4 (and 5) for a while...
Mate, I met some really 'stuck up' D3 owners when they first came out (I was driving a lowly D2 at the time).
Over time, it moved back to the wave and I very rarely dont get a wave back now.
Also happened with the run-out previous Defenders, lots of 'trendy' people got one but didnt get the ideal.
The wave is passé nowadays - everyone in almost all marques does something similar (so do Shed Draggers etc)
