That's it........

Are Evoques becoming too popular????

Cannot believe this, pulled out of the side road this morning at 7.25ish, right behind a Fuji Prestige with a personal plate, and followed it for about a mile in traffic, until he pulled into a local retail park.

Then in the opposite direction came another OG Prestige.

Tis too many, I thought Evoques were going to be a rarity, but three all in the same piece of road at 7.30, how rare is that.

Is it 'visible' because you are looking out for them? I'm sure there are still a lot less Evoques than other models on the road.

Very true, now if you ignore the Evoque for a while and count 3 series or A4's you will then see how true your statement is, Evoques are definately still a rare breed

RE: That's it........

It seems they are still extremely rare here in America.

I live in the city of Chicago (3rd largest in US with almost 10 million in metro area) and have seen only 3 Evoques during the 4 months I have owned one.

My brother lives in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan and he has yet to see one in New York.

My folks live in Miami (5 million metro area); during a one-week visit there last month I saw a grand total of 2 Evoques. The first one they ever saw was mine when I went to visit.

Everywhere I drive I still see gawkers acting like it's the first Evoque they have ever seen.

I know they're selling extremely well here in the States, but where are they?!

Evoque a rarity in the UK.............................. with 20,000 UK orders taken before launch? Those are numbers most car makers dream about selling!

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.

RE: That's it........

Also in Paris, I see them daily,

But I still get the admiring looks though! Possibly because mine is the only red i've seen here. Very conservative with car colours the french. Only black or white cars on the road with an occasional grey if you want to get adventurous...

Enjoying enormously: Pure Td4 Automatic, Firenze Red, almond/espresso interior, panorama roof with rails, Pure tech pack, clearview pack & cold weather pack, parking radars front and back + camera.
