Getting rid of the evoque!

Still at least it will feel exclusive.....

Have to say I agree and wonder why someone who always wanted that ice cream van should ever consider buying an Evoque. The problem with the Evoque is everyone wants one so it will be seen everywhere eventually. Just like the RRS I had when they first came out. You won't have that problem with the Merc though

Back in the time when I worked for a living, every type of large expenditure was subject to an Investment Appraisal.

I tend to follow that approach in my home life purchases.

The point is, very few of us will keep a car for life, most of us will change it sooner or later, but it does surprise me how many people bought into the Evoque but decided to part company inside a year. I wonder how much real consideration went into the buying process. Yes we are humans with emotions and tastes, but sometimes these decisions come with a cost.

You pay your money and you take your choice.

G wagon... C'mon... Where's the sex appeal... Would you impress a girl on your first date with car that looks like its one of the casts from Tranformers....

I've got a ferrari 430 scuderia for that, or an SL65 black series, or a 575 maranello, or a ford GT.

Cool. Point taken. The G-wagon must then be for the mother-in-law's approval...

It's for epic journeys into the unknown!
No not really, it's just cause i love it!

You'll love the ride on the wagon.. After all it's got a powerful engine .... Just when can I borrow your other hot rides.... To make the neighbours envious, ofcourse!

haha anytime!

Just what you need for Montreal which has some of the most draconian speed limit enforcement I've ever come across. I too have Ferrari, Mercedes, Porsche in my garage, think the Evoque is absolutely fine, and we're fortunate (at least for now) to have that playground called Germany on our doorstep. Going there next week.

I can not see the reason for fast cars in countries with hard speed limits, a couple of weeks ago I was driving with my new jaguar xjl on a Switzerland motorway and was caught of speeding, because I was driving 90km/h instead of 80km/h I had to pay 150 Euros, in Germany I would have paid 15 Euros.

Thanks god for the German autobahn
