I have seen a few on the M6 over the past few months. Definitely not for me.

In the dark, the multitude of LED lights are wearing a bit thin (are they trying to copy Audi Q-cars?), the boot isn't big enough due to the squashed stance and raked rear window, they don't look Land Rover enough from the front...beginning to appear like the newer 4x4s from Kia and Hyundai!

And they're too expensive. In a couple of years I can see that LR will begin to introduce versions with fewer gizmos just to get the price down.

The all black one i saw doesn't look girly

black, black interior, black roof and black wheels, with the full bodykit on looks very mean and aggressive, bit like the new KITT in knight rider  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

I never buy newly released cars of any brand on launch years. I always wait 2 to 3 years so the first bugs are solved.

Didn't know if I would like the green, but looking at your gallery yaugher, it looks good.

LR admit themselves it's aimed at girls first....


I'd rather spend the same amout of money on a properly sorted coupe (TTRS, 1M for example) that would have better handling, economy, pace and just about as much space.

However, people living in the sticks that would like such a car, it fills the niche quite nicely. And every wag will have to have one to run to Waitrose in...

Although, each to their own, and I wouldn't knock someone for owning one. Everyone that buys one, enjoy  Mine: 2012 Golf GTI Edition 35

Its not a car for me (and wife said the same....!)

but I have to agree with Big dave...good luck to the people who want it....after all I guess every LR sale/registration has to be good for all of us Sept 1 2010 Now the PROUD owner of Galway Green Auto Diesel HSE

im sure the high volume of sales / pre-orders will fill the piggy bank at the R&D department, is the FL2 the next model for a redesign though? Im sure I heard somewhere the RRS was going to be next? I hope some of the features in the Evoque make it into the FL2 and hopefully LR will come up with a few new ones to put in the FL2 that will make Evoque owners green with envy!!

Looks nice but definately for wags imho, personally I'd rather spend the cash on a used FFRR, I'll be alot more intrested in the new defender when it's out.

Without wanting to go too much off topic. People keeping making mention of second hand RRS's and FFRR's. Lovely cars, but are the reason LR came bottom of the reliability survey. The FL2 was the only car with good reliability, currently sold by LRl To own an RR of any guise, post warranty is a brave move, and a decision that shouldn't be taken lightly.

The running costs of any RR, except the Evoque would be in a whole new league. I know people will now start to say they have RR's and they have been great. I don't doubt that, and this is based on facts from 'What Car'. A high percentage of RR's went back to the dealers within the first year of warranty with major problems.

Hopefully the Evoque will bring RR into a different light, with regards to reliability. Whilst it's not my first choice of LR, it's supposed to be very refined, with great handling (rivalling Audi TT ). Perhap's it's the only RR worth having  Gone - TD4 XS Auto, Sumatra Black, Mud flaps and side strips, clear indicators, private plate, privacy glass
