You can buy a RR Sport for that!

Was underwhelmed when I had a look at one up close recently. It is definately a feminine car, interior was nice though Always thought I'd get one, but definately not for me. (Wife hated it!)

That's a very well specced vehicle though.

[silverspeed]

That is a very well specced car. Tend to agree that it is a bit female biased. Perhaps the Victoria Beckham association has put me off. Wife loves it and wants to spec a Ferenza Red one with black roof and privacy glass. It's got some really sporty interior options especially the seats.They look as though they are from the XKR-S?

It has been born to be personalized that's for sure.

[misery]

Yes that is what I thought, but trading in his FFRR TDV8 for the Evoque not sure that would make sense to me!! Mind you he has good reasons, so each to there own.

I had my name on the list at Land Rover Reading, but haven't been contacted yet? I'm something like 27th on their list?

on a slightly different note, I saw one of these on the road on Sunday.
All in Black, looked absolutely awesome... it was on the road between Stow and Broadway in the cotswolds.

on a different note again, I also saw a disguised 'new' jag, but this is the wrong forum I know

Dealer tells me the global launch date for the model is 1st Sept 2011, so those of us with an order in will have some time to wait before we need to commit to exact spec.

Just checked a rough build cost for Mrs Digga's requirements and it's working out costing less than the BMW 320d M-sport tourer it's replacing cost in 2007. Which is nice.

When will these be at the dealer to see them for REAL!

Global launch date is 1st Sept.

Anyone who doesn't already have one on order won't get one for another year though, aparently.

Music to my ears, it's bloody awful!

I had a good look at the Evogue at the Geneva Show, and I must say I was disappointed with the quality of the interior - a lot of plastic and the trim around the rear tailgate looked like it had been cut to fit by hand, that's not what I expected on a Show car.I think it will definitely appeal to the Ladies,but if I had a choice between a Freelander and the Evogue, I would go for the Freelander.
