I hope that Land Rover has figured out how to make the roof open and close a bit more quickly than the Coupe's front seats can move forward and back.................

At least it will get rid of the squeaking noise on the anterior roof console on the rest of the evoques! Or will it.
I am imagining the wind noise will be immense.

Maybe it will be built alongside the Evoque & Discovery at the new factory in Itatiaia, Brazil - quality can't be any worse
Won't be long till we see it in the flesh at next months LA motorshow, on the road spring 2016.

Is it me or does it look a bit like an Audi saloon convertible but on little stilts? I think the Evoque relies on its roofline for 80% of its USP.

No Walter, the Audi is a more complete design as a soft top, the Evoque looks more like a Mark 2 Ford Escort convertible AKA a pram.
This is what a convertible should look like:-

OK, I'll give you that one but the Evoque in 'convertible' form still looks rubbish, why spoil the Evoques original styling just to produce a me too fashion item or Barbie car.

Still, we'll see. I wouldn't want one TBH
All the best
