Works for me?

[Andehh]

Looks expensive to fix. Aren't Land rover still 32/32 in terms of reliability? Even Alfa Romeo wipes the floor with them...

I hope that it isn't the final product pictured. I'm surprised its allowed to be made (with all the eu mandates governing safety on cars) with such poor rear visibility, the rear window looks tiny though the windscreen and glass in the car reminds me of an old saab 900.

I doubt its going to be much cop offroad either.

A car that ugly and a tie up with Victoria fking beckham tells you all you need to know about the brand.

Did someone say 'sell out'?

I despair

Sell out? Now? You do know where the Vogue name on the Range Rover comes from, right?

[4lf4-155]

no, but i shall google

[4lf4-155]

No real information found on how it was named, I was 5 when it came out.

Educate me?

[agent006]

Takes it's name from the Vogue fashion magazine AFAIK.

Isnt this just as pointless as a BMW X6?

"The all-new Range Rover Evoque is a true global car and will be sold in over 160 countries. It was important to give the car a name that was instantly recognizable through language and cultural boundaries throughout the world. We wanted to create a new name which was innovative and different. A name which implies exclusivity and arouses emotions, Evoque is cosmopolitan and cross-continental, sophisticated and matches the car's urban elegance.

In Vogue (1983–1995) The "In Vogue", a more luxurious special edition of the Range Rover, was produced in 1983. This went into full-fledged production as the Vogue.

Hmmm.

Either some noncy marketing gaylord told him to say that, or he's a .

I rather like the thing, but if they're going to surround it in an aura of nauseating focus-group jingoism, they can fking keep it. Cultural boundaries? Cosmopoloitan and cross continental? Sophisticated urban elegance? Is it the bd child of Nelson Mandela and Kate Moss? Does it come with Polly Toynbee and George Monbiot riveted at the knees to the rear seats?

I don't like it any more.

[Bohemianesque]

I'm fairly sure I saw a prototype one of these last week on the m-way. The usual swirl patterned disguise applied. It looked odd and somewhat smaller than the pics show.

Not keen on RRs though.

I've now seen this on Autocar this morning, the interior looks great too.

Kind of horse st that is spouted to defend the London 2012 logo and mascots. tttage of the highest order.
