Bigger Evoque

If it gets the 8 speed auto it'll be a kick in the teeth!

The 8 speed will need to show up before then or LR will be losing sales to the competion.

In a brief moment of insanity (it's passed now )I spec'ed up a loaded Audi Q3 Quattro and the Stronic (auto) version of that is one tax band above the manual 4wd Evoque - its very close. I could have the Audi by the end of March or the Evoque by August 2012....tempting for just a few minutes.

An 8 speed would convert me to auto immediately.

As far as the bigger Evoque goes, place your orders now for a 2015 delivery.

I considered the Q3 and Q5 for a brief period during the onset of the delays but they are dull as dishwater and i think the wait is worth it.
Also for me the wait was just as long.....

I did some of the focus group work on this car a couple of months back. Looks very much like the current Evoque not wider but longer and they were asking if we'd want 7 seats. I personally said no as I still didn't think it big enough for a seven seater.

Maybe the Freelander 3 will end up as the seven seat small option like Disco 4 is the 7 seat big car option? And then keep Evoque the perfect proportions that it is now!
