Went onto the Land Rover website and prices for the Evoque have been released - http://www.landrover.com/gb/en/rr/ Not really to my taste but SWMBO likes it a lot. When we get home later this month I'll sit down and think about ordering one as her X5 looks dated, too big and not really practical.

LOL, my choices come to almost 50 grand

For a bleedin' freebie in a sunday suit !!

Nice yes, but not THAT nice.

It will take you a week to decide on the options.....lol

£49,500 for the one I've just spec'd up, I think I'd prefer a late TDV8 for that money. 2006 Mercedes CLS
1991 Retro-style Mini
But really finding it hard to fight the urge for a S/C...

Too big for 1-2 people at one time. I usually get lumped with the school run and she drives around Edinburgh in a big V8 car on her own, so it just doesn't make sense. She's also wanting something sportier and nimble, but likes the Land Rover brand. No doubt though she will want something else in a few months, as we only bought the X5 last December.

Get a Nissan GTR, that'll keep her busy.
1 or 2 people, sporty, nimble... job done!

Evoque with the mirrors folded is 1960mm wide
mirrors out 2125mm

L322 with folded mirrors is 2009mm ,
mirrors out 2191mm

So Evoque is still narrower than all the other Range and Land Rovers except a Defender 2018 Mini Countryman Cooper S E All4 PHEV in Melting Silver - it’s whisper quiet in EV and polluter modes

It may be the smallest, if you discount the Defender, but it's still a wide-boy.
A ford Focus is about 10cm thinner, as are most 'family' cars.

No doubt LR/RR will at some stage downsize even more and squeeze another model in, as there are markets it's still missing out on.

Just spec'd up one that I would 'have'.

Jinks Crivens Adam, now don't go skimping on the options will you.

Would Sir care to spec the "Chauffer" option ??

I'd settle for the basic 2010 Vogue (which I can't afford)

Dom,

Unless I win the lottery I won't buy a new car ever again.

My current car was a smidgeon over 72K out of the factory.

I paid half that for a 2yr old car. Smart money... Discovery 4 HSE
