    Haha!

    Love that front end. Will a more powerful engine be offered?

    I hope they have made the backseat entry for the 3d version a much comfortable climb. When I tried to get into the comfy rear cabin, I felt like a burglar trying to get into a house through a cramped bathroom window. Owners will have friends fist fighting over shotgun.

    Nevertheless the car is hot on a rapide level so flaws are forgiven.

    Luw, it's customary to climb up and into a Land / Range Rover. It's quintessential to the experience.

    The rear cabin entry benchmarking model must have been none other than Victoria Beckham.

    ^ Why do you say this?
  6. Centurion Contributing Member

    Last year she was appointed Range Rovers Creative design executive. The role suits her though given the popular appeal Range Rover has amongst young people. It's the united kingdoms Escalade.

    Horrible color :D but a good looking car.

    We all know of Beckham's token appointment but are you saying that Victoria Beckham is responsible for the rear ingress experience of the Evoque? If you believe this to be true then I have no idea what the world is coming to.

    I think Luw meant it's cramped? Victoria Beckham hasn't eaten a proper meal in 15 years, so she might be the only one the properly fit in...
  10. Centurion Contributing Member

    Yeah. My statement was more of a hyperbole than anything with truth as Victoria Beckham probably hasn't had to squeeze into the back of a 3door car in a long while. Last time I meet her she left the evening function in the comfy back seat of an S65 AMG.

    I could work that one out but in the context of having to climb up into the Evoque, I am struggling to establish relevance. But ok let's put it down to my interpretation.

    Hands down..best looking car in segment..still i think a X3 35is is the more advanced car now in that segment..

    Real Life Pic's-Range Rover Evoque

    My local Land Rover dealer got his hands on an Asian Spec Fuji White Range Rover Evoque for display only and for just two days.I got to kick the the tires this afternoon.I really like this car.I followed the development of this car and it is drop dead gorgeous in the metal.I was amazed how small the car really is in person.The first few pic's are to just show the size comparison to the Porsche Cayenne,Range Rover Sport and LR2.The Evoque has a 104.7" wheelbase vs the new X3 at 110.6". The Evoque is 171.8" long vs the new X3 at 183.0". The new X3 is a foot longer than the Evoque. The small size really emphasizes the Sporting intent of the car. The interior fit and finish appears spot on.Very nice feel to the interior. Color- Tan Oxford Leather. Wish I could have driven the car.Dealer tells me his first 12 Evoque's are sold and they don't hit until mid October.I think Land Rover has a winner. Thanks. PalBay

    This car is going to be such a winner for Land Rover. They are already on the upswing with this they're going to need extra sales people. Styling alone will sell this thing. Interior looks the part too.

    Big pity that in image-obsessed SA the Evoque is very, very expensive. Put it this way, for a loaded Evoque with all the niceties I could get a low mileage C63 AMG wagon. Now that's a no-brainer.

    Which model is that one?..all the ones i see are with the metal rectangular exhausts..those are the supercharged ones?
  19. Centurion Contributing Member

    London Fashion Week is under way and Land Rover has appropriately set the Evoque loose. I saw two of them on Friday. One white, and an hour later a burgundy one.
  20. Palbay Premium Member

    The White one I posted is a Prestige Model.The rectangular exhaust are the Dynamic Model....the sportiest of the 3 models. Thanks. PalBay
