RE: Some Rumours need Resolving

Well, I was driving last week at 150 mph unable to throw off a Cayenne turbo S. There is a market for a higher performance Evoque; it might not be needed in Fife, but then Fife is hardly the centre of the automotive Universe.

Evoque was great, now in an RRS SVR

Here we go, some petty comments because you don't agree with what I said.

An M3 the Evoque is not, and never will be.... But with how well it handles (for an SUV) in that smooth chassis, a fast Evoque sure would be tasty!

If you order an Si4 in the UK you are simply put in the holding pool and told it will be built when it is built and that's that. 2 dealers told me this. Reason is they are satisfying the Far Eastern markets first.
I guess that should mean good resuduals for Si4 for a while.

I've just had confirmation from my dealer that LR will indeed be discontinuing the Evoque TD4 "after the next batch of orders"

RE: Some Rumours need Resolving

I have heard that eD4 outsells TD4, strange that we have so few of them on the forum and quite a few TD4's

A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.

Maybe it's a different type of person who buys an eD4 compared to the average forum member? I'm generalising, of course!

Some Rumours need Resolving

I placed my order for my TD4 last month... Have yet to go in and finalise my spec yet either. Are you telling me I won't even get a TD4 now???

I would guess that you could be OK if your order has actually been placed with Land Rover and not just on your dealer's waiting list. Best check with them though.
