Finally - Sept 10th :-)

After missing all the events due to holidays, I will finally get to see and hopefully drive the Evoque on Saturday.

I am very excited! The only thing I am stuggling with (still) is which colour to go for, I am just hoping that I will have a eureka moment when I see them in the showroom or out on the roads.

Does anyone know if there are any new colours in the pipeline planned?

RE: Finally - Sept 10th :-)

Reading the "spotted" sections of Martin's other Land Rover forums it appears that the dealer cars are going to be limited to 3 colours - White, Black and silver - going on the number of transporters loads spotted that have only those colours on them.

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 the colourblind on the other forums cannot tell between grey and silver!

Well, I guess I have narrowed it down to black or grey, could possibly be swayed to white or ipanema, so at least if I can see one or two of these coulours it will help me make my mind up..... I hope Laughing !!!!

Thanks.

RE: Finally - Sept 10th :-)

Hi there,

I've seen the black in the metal and to be honest and whilst I accept that colours are a very personal taste I'm really not sure that the Black and the dark blue show the best of the evoque. I'd suggest looking at a few side by side. For me there are a number of other strong colours.

Arrived. Prestige SD4 Auto 5DR OG September 11

RE: Finally - Sept 10th :-)

Managed to have a quick nosey round the back of Stratstone LR in hanley. They had a white dynamic coupe, along with a selection of others in indus silver, black, and one in orkney (think they were mainly prestige's). They then caught me loitering and when i asked, they tried to tell me that they didn't have any evoques on site yet!! Will let you know exact details later on in the week after launch night. Interestingly though, i think only one had a panoramic roof....

On order: Dynamic SD4 Manual Coupe, Orkney Grey, Black Roof, Privacy Glass, Vortex Int, Ebony Headlining.

Delivery: Was 25/11/11, Currently 28/12/11..............
