Quote from Top Gear magazine:

Volvo XC60: "Small SUV stuffed with health and safety kit. In fact, it should probably come in flouro yellow with a loud hailer and whiney voice as standard".

I AM STILL AWAITING MY EVOQUE.

Of course all opinions are welcome here (as long as the Evoque is acknowledged as the finest SUV that has come to market ... in the history of mankind of course!)

Are you for real?

I guess everyone has a different taste???

Will put in my order for XC60 as I could not believe pricewise it's actually cheaper, or at least on a par with the Evoque.

Blackseries's post on Evoque to the rescue settles the point for me anyway... Evoque wins hands down. I also test drove X3 and XC60, both cheaper and more readily available (no surprise there). And I chose to wait and have an Evoque!

Have you seen how much it costs to add what are standard equipment on an RRE to an XC60 as extras? On their build configuration an XC 60 to as close to the same spec as my car made the XC60 nearly £6000 more expensive than the Dynamic Lux Plus and then I still couldn't get some of the kit that came on the Evoque on an XC60........................ I wouldn't say the XC60 was cheap - we baulk at a £50k RRE but a £55000 XC60...............? And the optional Satnav on a Volvo is a joke............. even though you can get an opening panoramic sunroof for £1200 extra

I checked out the xc60 to and the options soon added up, I was past the price of a Dynamic and still didn't have the bits I wanted / would like that were included on the Dynamic so gave up
