Interesting reading the posts on here...as usual we've strayed a little from the original post. I agree the Evoque is very marmite - love/hate, when I first saw pics of them I didn't like them, when I saw my first on the road I laughed and pointed.
However, my other half does 40K miles a year, and wanted something that would get her there in comfort and safety, particularly with the UK's inability to handle bad weather or prepare the roads for it. We went up to look, I must admit I was swayed, I cant stand "Posh", but the interior styling of the Evoque is stunning, when we test drove, it handled well, had lots of poke and a comfortable driving position with a lot of thought put into it.
End result hers is due in Dec, the missus loves it and I'm looking forward to it, like it or hate it, its definitely cutting edge stuff. I'm keeping my P38 to pull the horse trailer, it does look like a metrocab, but I love it and touch wood, its going strong, between us we've had Disco's and Defenders so neither of us are new to LR/RR.
I'm now considering seeing if I can get one as my new company car...

I'm not going to buy one, but one of my colleagues has one - swapped an Alfa for it.
Sister-in-law might also switch company car from Audi next time around. It'll be 2WD because of the mileage she does, but ...
That's two buyers bringing money to the company who wouldn't have looked at a Freelander, never mind a Defender or a full-fat RR.
Your problem is?

I fully get the aim in LR developing the Evoque to attract new generations to the brand but to call it a Range Rover is just capitalizing on the top marque of their range of which the Evoque falls FAR short...the fact they offer a 2WD is just a contradiction to RR's

All companies trade on brand names these days, they know they can sell crap if it has the right brand on it.
Surprisingly we have had an Ejoke in the village for the last couple of weeks. I notice that LR have stuck to their policy of fitting discs the size of cocoa tin lids, tiny compared to the comparable Honda,

They did that on purpose with the Ejoke. Retardation is restricted in case the tray with the curlers in tips over. No restriction on retards buying them though, as far as i am aware.

There is a hair salon in my town where there is always a few Range rover parked outside. there is a RRS and a Evoque.
I think the Evoque is much suited for WOMAN market =) I did not make this comment in any sexist way, the styling, the ride height, car size etc etc.
