Thought you lot might like an update on the Evoque.
I'm sure some people might like the styling, footballers wives and secondrate celebs come to mind. To me it's just pug ugly. Looks like a puffed up BMW mini with the tiny windows and low roof.
Looking at the wheels and ground clearance it is not obviously aimed at off road, I think the Range Rover concept is dead. They should re-name it Boulevard Rover. They even do a 2 wheel drive version
The bit you guys are really going to like is the choice of engines.
Scroll down......
There is a 2litre 4cylinder, yes that's right 4 cylinder 250ch
2.2litre Diesel 150ch for the 2wd 190 for the 4wd with stop start technologie, great if it stops every time you come to halt in the mud All lifted from the Gaylander. Looks like it could be FWD with selectable 4wd via a viscous coupling like the Xtrail, not certain about that though
Not a V8 or 6 in sight.
For me that means the end of the Range Rover as a concept, I'd sooner spend £10K renovating my P38.
On a brighter note, a company called Simtek is about to offer a TDV6 conversion for the P38. I'll get more details and post.
