The "posh-spice" endorsement killed the car off for most people.

Actually completly wrong. This vehicle is not aimed at the guy with his flat cap and overalls on, rather the Chelsea and Alderly edge set. Its not a chuck everything in the back land Rover, hence the name Range Rover.

its put so many people off that all production for this year is already sold prior to the launch

A different market. different tastes. But will sell as many as the freelander 2if not more.

2014 Freelander 2 SD4 XS Auto Santorini Black

Will there be a Freelander 3?

The Evoque looks like a scaled down and better looking Bimmer X6 to me. Except, being made by Land Rover, it will perform off-road. Though most owners won't really care beyond the capability for getting them home in a light dusting of snow.

But between the Evoque and the upcoming new Defender, I wonder if the niche presently occupied by the Freelander is going to get a bit crowded. The map is not the territory

Actually very little of the running gear is common with FL2 and most of the floor pan is different too.

2011 Freelander 2 TD4 XS Manual Baltic Blue

Only about 10-20% of the Evoque is from a FL2. The 4wheel drive system is the same as are the diesel engines, albeit modified to make them quieter.

looked much the same on the same line as the fl2's in halewood.

evoque can be fitted with different dampers etc etc but is basically the same maybe with more use of lighter alloy parts.

body shell is obviously different ( the robot had to swap tools in order to pick up evoque body parts)

evoque has alloy bonnet and 'plastic' winds and tailgate At work

I can tell you that the engine management software is more or less identical between the SD4 Auto Evoque and the SD4 FL2 Auto, with only minimal changes here and there. Some advance maps are slightly different, which could indeed make it sound quieter, but I doubt there is much in it in reality.

Regards,

Gary.
