now you know!

One can easily tell, Evoque is not truly "proud to be a UK" product...

Soon when LR manufacturing start in China, it may have similar disclosure to what back of apple products have..



Sad and disappointing ! We are squarely lacking durability and reliability at the cost of big profit margin and consumer's loyalty.


"FU(k)YAO" that's how you say in Chinese. LOlz

Like my Marin Mountain bike. When I brought it the crate had printed on it Made in Taiwan - some components Made in China, Assembled with pride in the USA! My Evoque's glass is made by some French sounding company but has no country of origin stamped on it

Am I surprised most of the parts are made in China... errr... No, I'd be surprised if they weren't.

It's ridiculous that it is cheaper to ship all this stuff around the world... but it keeps Tim in a job

They dont have environmentalists hounding them to save the planet. Plus that and cheap labor. i think the shoot all environmentalists as they enter the country

So to summarise, the Evoque is a vehicle made from recycled coke cans and fairy liquid bottles AND in the future will be made in China!...Not looking good is it?!

No, and when that happens, I for one WILL Jump ship and get on my BRITISH Soap Box... AGAIN!!!!!

Sadly it is just business. Ive worked with china a bit in the aicraft industry. You cannot really say quality is any different. as long as specs are followed and qc is carried out. If we were talking about coach builders it may be a different thing. The culture actually lends itself to a tedious job getting done well.

Their culture is changing though...

bought this new glass for US$200, LR must have had this made for $10
