Quote:When they first came out I loved them. Problem is too many if them are on the road which to me has diluted the look. Over the last month I have started to think they have really aged badly; the front still looks good but the side and rear profiles look really odd and oout of date - way too cluttered for a start.
I know it has always been a marmite car but does anyone's think they look a bit old fashioned?
I've refrained from posting, because as an owner I'd probably be over-defensive.
But even so, I thought what a thoroughly odd post!
I think the evoque is still one of the most cutting edge designs out there that is in fact aging excellently!
The poster is right in one respect - there are way too many of them out there now! I counted more than 12 on a trip into and back from town today, a 36 mile round trip that had me coming home at school run time. Most appeared to be Dynamics too
And you care about their opinion because......?
There will always be haters. If you like it, keep it and enjoy, if you think the same as them, sell it.
Simples!
everyone is entitled to their opinion, but saying that the evoque looks old I would have thought was not something anyone (anywhere) would be saying!
I do agree though, there are a lot out there - that doesn't mean it's aging badly though!
If I were to hazard a guess, I'd say that the op drives something German - as there is a bit of natural split there... probably thinks the X5 is cutting edge
I disagree, I actually think it will be looked back on as a classic design.
RS really like ur avatar so cool did you make it can i have a higher res one for desktop perhaps please?
As I have always said from the beginning.The Evoque will become an iconic car one day,as to ageing badly.That's probably a jealous person.
Theres a lot about, as there is with all successful cars, we were spoilt a bit having something so unique in the early days, i see at least 3 in every 10 miles now, but I enjoy seeing them still, It helps there are 2 designs in the Dynamic and Pure/Prestige look, and most I see dont have the signature lights so are Pure's. I still see more freelanders and RRS/RR's but they've been out longer. I do wish they did a few more colours though, White/Grey/Black is all I really see except a local Firenze every morning.
If any bit was going to date I'd say it would be the rear end view, but the rear lights are a great feature that should help that from happening.
North West London is Evoque central, when drive one mile to the gym, I see about 3 and then several more in the car park.
Well, interesting. When I was first looking to buy I saw quite a few. Then, suddenly, they all seemed to vanish. Now, if I see one every three - four days that's a lot. See the most when in Beverly Hills. Most of them are black and not Dynamics. What I see the most of are Sports... like roaches!
