New competition coming

Vw Evoque ????

repost of what i posted about an hour ago lol

Looks decent. But without LR 4x4 capabilities and PUDDLE LAMPS it's not really competition hehe. Reminds me of the Infiniti FX 35 coupe with VW grille pasted on

I think Autocar had some pictures with people next to it - they were a lot taller than the car, so it looked more Golf hatchback size than Evoque size, at least vertically - see here

Looks good. Not sure how they can call it a coupe tho!

Based on the rear pillar and roof line it's almost definitely a re-skinned Q3 which should give us a clue on dimensions. In my opinion it isn't anywher near as good looking as the Evoque based on the msn pictures.

I saw a Q3 in the Audi showroom a couple of weeks ago - was shocked how bland it looked

Hmm, looks to be 14.2 cm shorter height wise. I do like sitting higher in traffic!
But the petrol/hybrid means better economy no doubt than my SI4. And what's that -slightly quicker to 100 km

No ta.

Looks okay IMO but not as special as the Evoque.
