But why get past the Beckham thing? It's at the core of the question. It generated thousands of column inches in the motoring press, national press and women's press which has had a direct correlation to the sorts of people I see driving them round London, Namely yummy mummies, bankers' wives and wealthy gay 40 somethings. There's nothing wrong with that - but it's a fact.
Of course, it's very likely that people within those demographics chose the vehicle based on image, which as you say is fine. However, aren't Pistonheads members supposed to rise above that sort of thing and choose a vehicle based on its merits? If one makes a decision on the car based on its association with Beckham, then from a car enthusiast's perspective the reasoning is equally unsound whether the outcome was positive or negative.Hitch78 said:

We thought about an Evoque before purchasing our E Class, It just kept saying to me "can't afford a proper Range Rover".
It's a very nice piece of design but for me, more female orientated than male.
So why does your E Class not make you feel than you can't afford an S Class then?!It's a very nice piece of design but for me, more female orientated than male.
When anyone makes those kinds of comments, I tend to switch off, because they're not petrol heads and they see cars purely as extensions of their cocks, i.e. exclusively a status symbol.
Not everyone wants a big car, living in London, driving a big 4x4 or even a big excutive car is a pain, getting through tight gaps, parking etc, is all a chore with a big motor.

Think how good a sleek low slung estate with that front fascia on it and that deep swage line would look.
Just reading through the thread, and I have to agree with this, and think it would be absolutely brilliant if they made this as a car rather than a 4x4.Porsche have made a 4x4, I see no reason land rover can't make a car
"in relation to the sorts of people I see driving them round London, Namely yummy mummies, bankers' wives and wealthy gay 40 somethings"
Same over here. Within short time 4 of them landed within our neighbourhood. All of them within
your categories. Just don't understand how one could chose it for the "school run".
It looks much better than any MPV or softroader, though.

For me, the car has been spoilt by the people I"ve seen driving it.
One guy (with immaculately preened eyebrows) cut me up, and then threatened me at the lights for giving him a quick beep of the horn.
I shall subconsciously associate the vehicle with idiots every time I see one.
Shame, as it seems capable, although overly stylised.
I'd have a Disco.

Who gives a st what imaginary gender is ascribed to a machine? If you like it fair enough, if you don't, don't!
Manly, girly? Maybe you need a holiday in the Ukraine to really establish your rampant masculinity.
The Evoque is the only 4x4 (style) car I've ever really liked. In fact I think it looks stunning.
If that makes me a big pansy in your eyes then I'm happy (or is that gay?) not to be your acquaintance.
