Why has it got a pre facelift face on it though

Because the photos I put up are from February 2012.

The uncamo'd one was the original concept from way back when. The coach builders actually did an incredible job on it.

As for the 'testing'. Not sure the Cross Rail tunnel appears on our list of bookable facilities. May have to ask.....

I actually think it looks better than the tin top.

Which isn't saying anything at all really.

I'm always a bit baffled by the Evoque's sales figures. Apparently they sell shed-loads of them but I very rarely see one.

[Wadeski]

Well it certainly passes the "PH Test", the tenets of which are "Opinion of a car on PH correlates inversely to sales performance". See Holden GTS, Monaro, Subaru BRZ on one hand, and pretty much all SUVs on the other.

I don't really understand the hate, although I haven't seen one with the roof up.

Where do yoy live?

I see an Evoque almost everyday on my Surrey to Reading commute. Loads of them around.

Suburbam Hampshire, which you'd imagine would be full of the things.

We just get sick of endless Lotuses here

I wonder what it will look like with the roof up, ever worse I expect, probably they haven't released any pictures of that

think it looks awesome, glad to see a manufacturer doing something different, just because its a 4x4 doesn't mean it should be mud plugging!

Look like a bit of fun, would love to take my kids out in that during the summer! Stop being so serious!

You lot are correct of course.

Most of us here probably understand that the future requires more platform extensions or pursuit of niche segments. Contemporary lifestyles are more diverse and, thus, our product choices.

Have the attributes of this Evoque Convertible been drawn at random from a hat? No. But at a glance it might seem that way. Yet in another few years, we'll hardly notice.

I'm actually really like it. I want to see one for real but I think I'd still buy a 4 door coupe with a pano roof

A 4 door coupe? With a folding roof?

I think it looks good. With the roof off. I cannot imagine how it could look good with the roof up though. It's definitely going to be an achievement one way or another.

Can't wait for it. We may not sell that many in the Midwest but in California and Florida they will sell boat loads. It looks great, will seat 5 and will go anywhere while giving a full wind in the hair experience. What's not to like? Can't understand some of the comments on here.

[B17NNS]

I've just done a little sick in my mouth.

Really? I'll have one then.

Does look a little like a clog in profile.

I would actually be embarrassed to get in one of those, never mind own one.

Nail on head. Coming to a middle age orange woman near you soon...

You living in a cave?

Shed loads of them around south Manchester, not a massive surprise.

Not convinced it will, but fingers crossed as it will make it more appealing and thus a greater sales success. These pics are from Geneva 2012, so perhaps the production version has changed.
