Do we need an Evoque section?

Personally, I don't really care, we all know how we think about them.... black/white, good/bad, ugly/nice...

Just be consistent for the sake of users and mod's. Sort by badge would defineltley help novice users find what they are after.

Shouldn't we be welcoming and looking after newbies by making things as easy as posible for them?

What does AULRO's Charter or Mission Statement say with regards to members and vehicles? If there is nothing to reference, perhaps that where the real issue is?

Perhaps you are thinking that AULRO is a membership based organisation with a constitution, Charter or Mission Statement, it's not and the term "member" misleading in that sense. It is an internet forum owned by someone, not unlike Facebook, where we are subject to the benevolence of the owner. Any subscription we may make is to defray costs associated with purchasing internet access and maintaining the physical server.

Even though the Evoque has the marketing label Range Rover I don' see it fitting in with the L322, P38a or even the RRc as they are or were in a different class to the softroader Evoque.

HONESTLY, I wasn't thinking that hard at all!!!

It just makes sense that there would be some "frame work" for growth and evolution of an entity this size. Maybe it's just all inside "the creators" head. Either way, this shouldn't be that much of a hard one...

Sounds both blasphemous and cheeky, but has anyone asked the almighty AULRO creator for guidance or perhaps direction? Where does one "lay their mat" to kneel and call him? LOL!

Only the hairdressers :o

I am of the view that the D3/D4 should go in the RRS section :cool: and the Evoque in the Freelander Section, but then the FFRR is becoming more like the RRS so maybe the FFRR should also go into the RRS section :wasntme:.

But then as the early RRC has a FC101 engine and running gear - maybe the RRC should be in the 101 section.

Yep, I was waiting till somebody said a " Hairdressers Car". As far as I am concerned, if it is a LandRover or a RangeRover it is a LandRover or a RangeRover, what we have to realise now is that not everybody who owns a LandRover is a hairy chested alpha male. Sorry, Garry I know you own a Freelander!!!:D:D

Sorry THEY ARE ALL LAND ROVERS (except for the early ones that were Rovers or Leylands), there is no such manufacturer as Range Rover. Range Rover is merely a marketing name used by Leyland and subsequently by Land Rover on some models.

BTW Garry owns a RRs.

Sorry, no understand???? LandRover and RangeRover are the same Manufacturer, RangeRover is like Fairlane used to be to Ford or Lexus is to Toyota???:confused: are you splitting hairs???:D:D btw, he also owns a diesel FL1( early model with the L series diesel) that he is trying to sell, also he has an excellent Thread in the Freelander Section of the Forum on checking VCU's.!!!

No, the Rangies have Land Rover badges and labelling. I think you'll find the Lexus doesn't carry any Toyota badging and is sold as a separate marque - especially in the USA. The Fairlane carried a Ford badge.

Should it go under Freelander? :confused:

I was just about to ask the very same question... But then I saw this thread.

IIRC - The only things on the Evoque, which are the same as the Freelander 2, are:

* Diesel engine
* Gearbox
* Rear diff
* Some of the rear suspension and top suspension mountings.

Although originally 'based' on the Freelander, everything alse is completely different... Even the floorpan and layout underneath is different.

Wot me pedantic? ;)

But it irks me when RR people get all the airs and graces about their owning RR and not LR, when I was in the RR Club of NSW there was a furore when Richard Asquith, the President (and owner of Asquith & Johnson, now Trivett Land Rover Parramatta), took a prototype Perentie on a Club trip, similarly when the Discovery 1 was released they weren't going to accept Disco owners as members unless they also had a RR and the Disco's weren't to go on trips. After that I didn't stay in the Club long enough to find out the result.

My point, just because a vehicle has a particular marketing label, doesn't mean that it fits in that area. Would the Lexus GX470 be in the Lexus area or the Prado area, I say with the Prado because they share much of the same platform.

I did not know Garry still had the FL1, but my comment was to suggest that he had a stake in the argument of RRs being with D3/D4.
