    I haven't seen one in the flesh, but the Wheels mag October preview sounded promising and looked good in the pics. I looked at the spec levels and I reckon with all the fruit I have on the R, I wouldn't walk away with much change from $90K! However I like the idea of a good looking softroader with some performance and handling and that the Evoque can allegedly drive in 500mm of water sounds good too, but I'd miss the chuckability of a smaller car after a few weeks of owning one of these.

      good looks, AWD, wide rubber and torque figures might lure some of the punters... but since when was land rover renowned for building cars that can handle? lol.

      that aside, i reckon they're going to sell like absolutely brutal hotcakes.

          i do believe that, as a fashion item, we will be seeing plenty down at your nearest coffee shop, real estate agent or private school car park. It will become the new BMW 3 series.....

          Not that it would ACTUALLY put me off buying one, but given the demographic it will likely attract......

            my mum is looking for a new car...she would almost definitely be buying one of these, but land rover/range rover isnt on the radar for her any more....

            not with how horrifically unreliable they have become. i guess that's the beauty of forums - gone are the days of blindly walking into something.

              It's built on the Freelander chassis... so its more a BWM X1/Audi Q3 competitor.

                not sure why the comparisons with X3, Q5 either

                What (or whose) engine are they using? That would be big a factor in considering one for me. If it's an in-house jobbie, I would be a tad concerned.

                  then you need'nt be concerned... they're using the engines from the Tata TL. reliability abounds...
