Baby RR
Saw this today on the A46, heading towards Warwick and due to being stuck in traffic next to him, ended up having a chat to the driver. It seems to have a thumbs up for drivability and comfort, drives like a car apparently!

Me too tbh. It looked really smart and different. I could imagine Mrs Harvoy enjoying it immensely! I will stay with my D3 though as I love taking it off road and being able to take the whole family out for the day. The Evoque looked tiny in the flesh, so seems to more of a chelsea tractor then a serious off-roader, (but you never know, it may be very capable!)56 plate Zermatt Silve

The driver said this one was 4x4, but they are making a 2x4 version as well. I cant see the point of that tbh, unless it is a fuel saving thing, a frugal SUV, what ever next 56 plate Zermatt Silve

The only disguising was on the alloys, but yes, I was surprised that it was being driven so openly. The driver seemed happy to roll down his wondow and have a quick chat about it. It was left hand drive by the way.56 plate Zermatt Silve

The wife quite likes them, the 5-door model anyway. I have seen quite a few, but all in zebra stripes, as I only live 5 miles up the road from MIRA.
I will wait till summer 2012 to try and get an ex-demo for her.
She will be ready for a change then as she will have had the legacy sport tourer 3 years then.d4 HSE in Corris Grey with Black options pack

Nice spot Harvoy
It's going to be a couple of years before we see the Evoque over here in Cyprus.
Imagine walking into a dealership a couple of months back and asking a salesman about buying a D4, to be met with, whats a D4 ? and you get the picture.
Not square enough, looks like a gym shoe!!!!! Sticking with D3, unless I win the lottery then its a Aston Martin!! Run silent, run deep!! HM Submarines Conqueror, Churchill, Renown, Ocelot, Porpoise, Onslaught.
Oh Lord! send down a dove, with wings as sharp as razors.

These 'Crossovers' are all the rage now. Most manufacturers have got their own version.
