    Unfortunately, the Evoque is ! good... !!

    Anyone read the Top Gear reviews? Clarkson expected to hate it, instead made it his COTY choice. I (bushfire-fighter retired, Freelander2 owner(20,000km in 4mo, 10% dirt/off-road)), expected to hate it. I do hate the look and passenger windows. Sooner or later some of the target demographic (hairdressers & soccer mums, latte-swilling poseurs) are going to take them off-road or on-sell them to people who will, where owners will discover that the limitations are no-low-range & no-2"-lift(clearance) & driver competence. Five years time, people will be doing mods to them, the way they do to 40-year-old RRs.

    So I support a combined "small-platform" classification - including Freelander1&2/Evoque & (gasp)2WD because this is a Land Rover forum and we don't all have to be purists with winches & dirt-under-fingernails. If the trendoid Evoque expands the LR support base, why quibble?

    The difference between the Evoque and 40 year old Range Rovers, is that 40 year old Range Rovers were competent off road vehicles the day they rolled off (the many) assembly sheds 40 years ago. The Evoque, lacking low range, is only a soft roader today and in 5 years time in spite of any current or future mods.

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.
