Yesterday I was working with a sports promotion event company that involved about 20 LR Evoques being displayed in Kensington, London.

Quite a private event for the rich and famous...

...yet at great risk to my own personal safety I have managed to bring all you fullfatters
(well - those of you who might be interested in the new babyRR model)

EXCLUSIVE SPY PICS of what was about

Unfortunately - because I still haven't worked out how to include photos with my postings you will have to look at my gallery to see them

I guess you don't like it's name more than the car actually! If it was still called the LRX... that would be a different story

At least LR made a car with panoramic roof... the only thing I always liked about Porsches and x5's

Strangely enough, it has the LR badge in the back! 2000 BMW M5, Avus Blue/LeMans Leather Interior
2006 Range Rover Westminster Java Black

Cheers scarey - I will try it next time

Thanks MICK

It's not my cup of tea, but it's nice to actually see a distinctive design and not another "jelly mould". No confusing the Evoque with any other make/model of car.

....... and my boss who was there last night (assuming it was the Roof Gardens event)?

Hope you're well D?

James

Thats correct James - It was the Roof Gardens doo...

...I am well, thanks for asking - I trust you are well too?

I hope you are ready with your order books for this new Evoque - when they reopened the road (after scaffolding, cranes and trucks had gone) you would not beleive the amount of positive interest these cars received form the general public, male and female, young and old!

Ps - Don't think much to your pink Evoque window graphic, I would have done much better

It should be called the Land Rover Evoque.. Nothing Range Rover about it.... I.M.O. Previously..
Vogue SE TD6
Defender 90 2.4
Defender 110 TD5
Vogue 3.5 EFI

I would hazard a guess that a lot of the styling will be carried forward to the next all new 2012 Range Rover

ive got to be honest despite the fact i think it looks like one of these:

I think we need to learn to live with the fact that times are changing and if the Range Rover brand helps LR sell billions of Evoques then as Rolo say's it probably good for us all in the end.

I too am starting to quite like the look of the car but all small 4X4's, however stylish, look like girls cars to me. The wife may yet have one.....

If you think this is bad, wait for the new Defender to arrive!
Defender drivers have got to be the most traditional of all LR group products.

There is a problem with the Evoque. It's too wide for a small car!
In cities where a lot will live the parking spaces are not wide enough to let you open the doors, just like in a FFRR.
That is my main complaint. It's also the main reason we are not getting one. My wife wouldn't drive the FFRR for exactly the same reason. Height, length, weight... no problem. But you need to be able to park the thing and still get the door open without smashing it into somebody elses car.
Her Yeti is fairly wide for a small car, but it's still something like 12cm thinner than an Evoque, which is not far of the width of it's bigger brothers.

But that won't stop people buying them like crazy.
