Someone with a 500L finding a Renegade an ugly car.... Hmmm

I don't think she'd necessarily use the term ugly, but, er, how can I put this delicately, overstyled and, um, ersatz, kind of naff? Not the sort of thing a lady in her mid-70s might want to be seen in at the knitting circle. The 500L is practical and understated. The Renegade may be practical, but it's a bit try-hard. IMHO, and of course YMMV. Let's not forget she had 2 Multiplas, lives down a long, inclining rough track and has never seen the need for anything SUV shaped.

One of the things I like about it is the practical shape of the back end of it for occasional van impersonating. I’m amazed at what will fit in it. Anyway, I know it wouldn’t be for everyone, after all, what is, but for what she wants it for, and for my occasional use, it’s tickety flipping boo.

Just don’t mention it if any of your vehicles develops any form of vibration eh? 😲

I might have got my lines entirely crossed here, but wasn't it her that had a Range Rover, or a Discovery, or something?

I think you've remembered correctly she had a Range Rover.

Side profile of that reminds my of a Volvo XC40.

It’s not as ugly as Humph’s, and I quite like it in yellow. But presumably most will be me-too black and it will look like every other mummy SUV. I imagine they’ll call it something implausibly macho like Buccaneer or Canyon.
Still seeing those bloody used Orangeade adverts.

Beauty, eyes and beholders etc.
I quite like the Renegade styling. My wife loves it, and she is never ever wrong you know. I’ve had to accept that, so even if I wasn’t sure, it really wouldn’t be worth mentioning it.

Could have sworn I replied to this. Strange. Anyway, it's her partner who has a nasty old (2002) Range Rover with LPG conversion. Mum hates it and refuses to drive it. He's also got a Navara but that doesn't go on the road, it's just for use on the land these days.

Ah well, apologies. I was aware my lines might have been well crossed.
On an associated subject, I detest LPG conversions. They never seem to be without problems.
