Independent leveling of vehicles (Destiny)

I would go with independent leveling of vehicles. That way you can extend the system over to ships (which Bungie could expand upon quite profitably).

My suggestion would not even have light level initially with vehicles. Everything would just be white rarity at first, and once they have levels expanded with vehicles in mind you can introduce different rarity of gear and customization options. More legendary or exotic parts would have better performance, more mod slots, and unique abilities. That way you wouldn't worry about your prized vehicle becoming outmoded by an expansion. You would see any DLC as an opportunity to get parts that further customize and tune your ride.

D2 is already wide and shallow. There is no reason to invisibly scale vehicles just to satisfy an RPG mechanic where everyone is within 10% of each other anyway.
