Yeah, its called the new Range Rover. Apparently the new FFRR is going to look like an upscaled version of the Evoque, but will be a lot lighter than the current car and a hell of lot more expensive

No really like an upscaled Evoque...

I think it's a load of non-sense but then I'm quite far removed from the target demographic I'd guess.

I think it looks quite sharp and will no doubt sell rather well. The problem I have is once you take the roof down, the seat height with make it feel like your sitting on the top deck of an open top bus.

Agree with both there! These will sell in their millions. I have this image in my head of a designer finishing it off and thinking 'well that looks horrible but we will sell thousands to orange skinned people on every continent in various hideous colour schemes'. I think with the roof down it is the ideal vehicle for dictators to be driven around in. Also how many optimistic millionaires in Aberdeen will buy one?

Both your statements cant be right. If it sells like hot cakes then its a great idea and job done!

[Buff Mchugelarge]

One answer to that.

Shell suits and leg warmers.

Everybody CAN be wrong.

We managed to see one being driven around London being filmed. Lot's of Discovery chaperones around to keep other cars away. Looks very nice on the road. It was telling that we saw it being driven around an Urban environment.

This is one of those where if someone told you about it you'd piss yourself laughing at the ridiculous idea. Amazingly it looks far better than I'd have expected. Footballers will take two each, will sell like hot cakes and we should all be glad to see the company doing so well imo.

Strangely attractive, i predict this will be a huge success, a new niche nobody thought about but somehow really needs (like the 4d coupe)...

[JohnGoodridge]

Come on PH, don't bother me on this topic again until you're announcing the Bowler fettled GTE(voque) RS version.

[car crazy]

I like it have seen a lot of the hard tops around, look good even seen one with red roof and red rubber tyres, yes you read that right red tyres not wheels. I fail to see how your meant to see out of the rear screen though it is narrower than my old cerbera windscreen and that saying something. (i scored an 8 average is 4.9)

[Harris328i]

I think its pretty well understood who'll sit behind the wheel of these and for which reasons which arent ideal, but if it brings money to the pot for Range Rovers, new projects and part sharing with Jaaag for their lineup, its well worth the pay off.

[kamilb1998]

I like it. IMO it looks quite good.

[Dave Hedgehog]

hate it ..

I'm guessing it's a hardtop and not a clothtop?
