RE: Land Rover confirms Evoque Convertible
Monday 2nd March 2015
Just when you thought a six-wheeled Defender was the weirdest Land Rover you were going to see today... These are the first prototype images of the Evoque convertible, announced at Geneva and with sales due to commence next year. Hmm.
Land Rover confirms Evoque Convertible
You read that right! Drop-top announced with first prototype images. Brace yourself
The images come from a testing schedule conducted in London's Crossrail tunnels. It may look like a daft PR stunt (obviously there's a video too) but the benefit is roof-down testing out of the public eye. Apparently the unfinished tunnels allowed for some off-road exploration too. This will surely go down superbly with your local green-laners...
For now Land Rover has only released these images and confirmation of the project. Expect more details towards the end of this year. Yes, it really is happening.

Words fail me
Yet another niche product that takes a bunch of target markets and fails to hit all of them
edit: just realised. It's actually squarely aimed at those people who really love open-top buses but would never be seen on a bus. Bingo.

I'd actually laugh out loud if I saw anyone driving that.
...maybe yummy-mummies arn't just the target demographic anymore?

Useful for hunting the Grouse. Paint one dark green and I can see estates who charge you money to go out killing things getting them. Far more comfortable than a Defender for new money wannabe Harry and Henriettas.
More likely to be driven by an orange scaffolders wife who outgrew her SLK.
Is this not Land-Rover going back to its roots? Weren't the first Landy's soft tops?
