I'm not talking about an Alfa with the front number plate stuck on one side of the front bumper (which I quite like) but why is the back of the new Discovery unsymmetrical or asymmetrical?
I'm not sure of the difference grammatically, but why does it look so weird from the back and why?
It's got a huge arse seen from side on, but other than design aesthetics is there a reason why it's not symmetrical from the rear view?
I'm sure there have been others but I can't think of them or why.....?

I'm not questioning the cars 'goodness' as I am sure it's a great car as most LR products sell by the bucket load.
But why the odd symmetry and did anyone else do it?

Point taken and well made but did anyone else do it too?

I meant front or rear rather side differences otherwise we'll have Renault 4s. 14s and 16s with unequal wheelbase lengths, not that you could spot it with the naked eye....

Have there been many (any?) cars that were asymmetrical at the front?

The original Fiat Panda had an asymmetrical grille.

It was also a great cheap car. Had one with a full length 'Webasto' type sunroof.
