Not wanting to add to your misery but I do think it's pretty appalling to find out at such a late stage. Hope you have a great holiday and as you say, hopefully it will take your mind off things for a while Wink

Nothing mentioned about delays due to xenons or pan roof but now there is apparently 'steering' problems and both Evoques & Freelanders are affected. My dealer says LR are changing all order dates around at the moment on the order system & he will update me on Monday hopefully if he gets any more information from LR. Can't say I'm shocked as I knew in the back of my mind it was coming. SadSadSadSad
Anyway I am going on holiday on Monday for 15 days so that should take my mind off this disappointment for a bit!Confused

Unbelievable - how can they still be shuffling build dates at this point?!

It is truly ridiculous. I'm not going to be at all happy if mine is delayed yet again, in fact why don't we start a thread titled 'What Car are you going to buy when you finally get fed up waiting for the Evoque?'

Collected - Pure Coupe SD4 Tech Auto, fuji with Almond/Expresso interior. Style 5 19" alloys, panoramic roof, xenons, privacy glass, electric adjustment exterior mirrors, rear camera, park assist, fog lamps, spare wheel

My condolences Caroline, I was imagining our cars progressing through the line together... I hope my dealer really did get confirmation from LR that mine goes into build on Monday, because to some extent I had the impression that he was just telling me what I wanted to hear so that I would stop bothering him! And the thing about steering sounds ominous...Rolling Eyes

Thanks, I really hope you don't get the same outcome as me and an ever increasing number of forum members! Please let us know the hopefully good news Monday (got to stay positive)!
The thing is my sales manager and the rest of the team are great guys and from what I gather they are pretty much in the dark also and as frustrated as us!

My advice? Check a Plan B. (other car)

Order of Evoque Dynamic cancelled due to delays and no information on delivery date. Wish you all the best of luck and hope you will receive your cars soon. Its a lovely car! Many thanks for all great answers and feedback on this forum! Take care! Cheers! /Hybris
