I can't understand anyone wanting one when they could have the bigger RR Sport version or the t'other big one. I dont get why they are so expensive
We were on the motorway today and saw an Evoque and 2 RR Sports and the Sports looked way more impressive. I think i'm in the minority though as they seem to be in high demand 59 TD4e XS in galway green

Anything new and radical will always be in demand ........ short term .

I agree with the latter comments I have sat in one and its all wrong you cant have your arm hanging out the window as the seats are too low! AND WHO SAID FL2 IS AN UGLY DUCKLING I THINK IT LOOKS GREAT!!

Different people have different tastes..look for different things in their cars and want to portray differenet images of themselves.

Let's be thankful the Evoque is a soar away success which means JLR will survive this recession and have the confidence to invest in new and additional models.

Exactly, it is our own opinions only, there are many out there with differing ones as the market portrays. Manufacturers have surely an uphill battle as to how much different you can make a car, every combination has been applied, there just can't be many practical changes left without making a truly radical change.

and they may grow on us as we see more about too

I keep popping onto the evoque forum to try to 'float my boat' but nothing so far

I'm interested in seeing photos of them though and seeing what people think although a lot of people seem to be ordering but then waiting and waiting and waiting. What's going on. Were they unprepared for the demand or something? 59 TD4e XS in galway green

Judging by the length of time for the delivery of my FL2 (August to December) I’d say a big fat YES!

I would say pop to the local dealer, have a drive in one then ask for one of those Landrover half day experience vouchers & drive one off road. I did & it was fantastic.

You can have them with used or new, a decent dealer will offer you one, sadly like me first time round, dealt with Pratstones, you need to beg.

Oh right, thanks
I don't know if i can be bothered begging Stratstones. I didnt want to deal with them again once i'd got my car  59 TD4e XS in galway green

I was given a voucher when I initially expressed interest in the Evoque, one was sent in the post but after over a week it didn't arrive & I then went into the dealer again & they gave me another. The next day the first one arrived but they let me keep it. I went to the Luton Hoo site & took my brother in law. When I placed the order for the Evoque they gave me another which I shall use in March.

Some dealers give them too anyone who test drives a car, some don't bother at all & others will let you have one if you express a lot of interest in a model. (Past) Freelander 2 HSE 2010 MY In Rimini Red.

They are far more luxurious than the FL2 with more tech toys - basically a smaller RRS. This accounts for why they are more expensive than the FL2 but not as much as its larger sibling.

The Evoque is a proper 4x4 - it can do everything the FL2 can do and according to LR Experience chaps I've spoken to a little bit more too!

And you really cannot compare how the Evoque drives on-road to the FL2. The FL2 drives like a typical SUV, not bad but nothing exciting. The Evoque like a 3-series BMW. (I'm making direct comparisons from experience but comparing to the Dynamic Si4 with Sports mode and Dynamic mode enabled).

I've owned a Discovery 4 and downsized to the Evoque...I've driven the RRS and found the Evoque a better, more enjoyable road experience which is where it will be most of the time.

Space? Roof racks and roof basket or box. Problem solved. 6-footers fit in the back of the Coupe comfortably and the front has more legroom than the RRS!

It is a brilliant design really.
