I am really shocked!

The Evoque isn't my thing, but at least it looks great in a Judge Dread sort of way.

However, as a cabrio, it has all the style and panache of a wardrobe that been placed flat on its back. There's just no shape to it and, to my surprise, it doesn't work Sorry!

I like it open top and a high enough seat so I can indulge a farmers favourite pastime, peering over hedges as I drive to see if other farmers crops are as good as mine  At work

2 no letter box rear window

3 no spoiler reducing rear vision

4 free mud pack for all when off roading with top down

5 it will be the car to have in London and Essex 1995 P38 now dead

And my dealer confirmed its going to be happening

But still nothing on the FL3 side of things

Due on sale 2013 and expected price range £35000 - £50000 depending on spec.

Next big release in late 2012/early 2013 will be the FFRR.

That'l be Prestige & Dynamic with Lux Pack & probably Dynamic Plus Pack too to get to £50K

The picture above would be a Dynamic! (Past) Freelander 2 HSE 2010 MY In Rimini Red.
(Past) RR Evoque Dynamic Lux Si4 In Firenze Red.
(Past) RR Evouque Pure Tech in Barollo Black with bespoke Firenze Red colour coding.
(Present) Freelander Metropolis 2015 MY In Santorini Black with Ivory Premium Leather.

So Land Rover carves another nich in the market for 4x4 convertables. If it sells more vehicles then that has to be good for the company. It would be really enhanced with more power, whereas 190 bhp is the most I would want in the Freelander, the Evoque chassis mst be good for 300 bhp. 2013 Discovery HSE Luxury Corris Grey
2010 Freelander SD4
1997 Defender 90 XD Wolf (ex Ghurkas)
1991 Defender County 110 V8
1959 Series II
1953 Series I
1952 Minerva Ambulance

Now that has quite amazed me! When the question was posted "How do you improve the Evoque?" my first thought was "Take a chainsaw to it!" I think it's the ugliest thing Land Rover have ever made

BUT - when you DO take a chainsaw to it CAREFULLY and whip the roof off like that - I want one

It would be good to see a photo of what it looks like in the roof-closed position. Is is a soft top or a hard top? If it's a hard top then the danger is it will look like the original model.

Is there a high-speed flip-up anti roll bar fitted? If so then off-roading wouldn't be quite so dangerous as it seems.

Mind you, I still think a 2-wheel drive LR is the motoring equivalent of the chocolate fireguard - it might look good but......... Ours - 2008 Stornoway Grey HSE Auto
Tricia's - 2006 Royal Blue Beetle Cabriolet Auto
Mine - 2014 Vespa GTS 300 Super Sport Matt Black
Ours - 2007 White Bailey Pageant Champagne

More A3/A4 convertible than Astra but I quite like it, but I wouldn't buy one

no boot and what is there will be taken up by the roof

I added a Freelander 2 top on it, wrong colour I know and a quick 5 minutes just to show how it could look.

if it is a hard top folding roof by the time that folded into the boot there wont be enough room left for a shopping bag BUT i guess a pair of scissors and comb will be enough for a hairdressers car anyway  1995 P38 now dead
