In 2009, Land Rover slightly modified the styling of the Discovery 3 / LR3 and renamed it the Discovery 4 / LR4. Overall the process involved adding somewhat unnecessary embellishments, leading to and new truck that looks somewhat overstyled compared to the original. But the process didn't really devolve it into fugliness. Unless you're talking about the taillights.
I would classify these tail lights as immensely fugly. I think Land Rover calls them "jewel-like", but I call them "vintage 1999 rice". Different for the sake of different can backfire, as it's done here. However, this looks seems to be spreading...
The reworked 2010 Santa Fe suffers a similar set-back. Also thoroughly restyled to acheive a look that's only modestly different (and also a bit overstyled), it also inherit two ugly new taillights not unlike the LR4, with some new clear lense portions that look both dated and horrible. I really hope this isn't a trend.
