Are you a conquest sale?

A spot of market research here.................... LR expects that 80% of the buyers of the Evoque will be conquest sales from other marques/ brands.
So basically are you coming to the Evoque having NEVER owned a Land Rover or Range Rover before

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.

RE: Are you a conquest sale?

Having always had hot hatches, the time came for something a little bigger to accomodate the dogs and the occasional kids in the back and the evoque ticked every box for us.
we havent ordered yet but going in saturday to pay our deposit, aiming for a 1st march pickup fingers crossed.

RE: Are you a conquest sale?

Never ever considered a LR or RR. Have always liked the look of the disco and RR but major concerns over build quality, reliability and ownership costs have kept me away. However following the launch of the LRX I said I'd have one...just hope my concerns wont materialise.

Arrived 16th December 2011: 5 door Prestige SD4 auto in Barolo black with ambience interior, pano roof, privacy and 20" style 6 alloys.Very Happy

I was in Range Rovers from 1984 to 2009, and then sneaked over to Aston Martin for 2 years. I'm returning to the foldTwisted Evil.
Loved the AstonVery Happy, but pretty impractical as an everyday carShocked, so the Evoque will be daily driver for a few years nowLaughing.

RE: Are you a conquest sale?

Conquest sale from BMW convertible. But to be fair I was thinking of a more practical car but have chosen the Evoque over a new Q5. If BMW had their 3ltr diel in the new X3 I might have been tempted but its looks put me off.

Arrived: SD4 Prestige Auto Coupe with Lux pack. Ipanema Sand with Black Panoramic Roof
Ambience Interior with Macassa wood.

Now a Jag XFR Kyanite Blue - wow what power.
At home and superb.

RE: Are you a conquest sale?

Have always owned Sports Cars then went to a Vogue...sold that due to fuel prices continuing to increase and 20mpg not being acceptable. Move to an A5...and hate it.

Once you've owned a Range Rover, nothing will ever make the grade. I will forever now have a Range Rover. I hope the Evoque lives up to the Vogue standards...if not, I will bite the bullet an buy a Vogue again.

Evoque Coupe 2.2 SD4 Dynamic LUX 190HP (in some kind of grey!)

RE: Are you a conquest sale?

I've had 7 BM'S on the trot and after the last two bad winters, i need a vehicle that will keep me going for 12 months and not 10-11 because it's crap in the snow being RWD, and sat on the drive!

I'm looking forward to a really bad winter so that Mr Fuji can show me what he's all about when the going gets tough on and off road. i know i will miss the power of my 3.0 straight six, twin turbo, but i'll soon know if i've made the right decision!! Confused
