Thanks i saw that, I was hoping that they would bring it out for MY14 september not Jan, that is to late for me. I have to get it of the the VW I am in before the end of November. Fingers crossed....

Looks like it will be too late for you. The Black Design Pack will be available from July at least...

Maybe not
my dealer confirmed with JLR aus that the 9speed will be available for MY14 (sept), stoked!

Awesome!
Did you ask about the Black Pack?

Sorry buddy I didn't. I am in there next week to take another extended drive so I will ask then and report back. Also going to try and check out the corris grey colour swatch as I think that is the colour I will order, not sure if I want the black pack with that colour.... But I am that indecisive (not usually) when it comes to the evoque, who knows what's will end up ordering

I'll be keeping my 6-speed auto diesel without the dreaded stop/start for sure,and i am perfectly happy with the economy i'm getting as well.

ZF claims the changes are quick enough to be imperceptible - 150 milliseconds.
The gearbox software has been tweaked, too, and the ‘box’s design allows it to swap more than one ratio at a time, and remember what changes the driver has asked for. So, if you’re approaching a corner in seventh and you think you’ll want third, hit the paddle four times and, when the rev-range allows third, it’ll give it to you. Likewise, in auto modes, it’s more inclined to hold a gear mid-corner so you can accelerate away more easily.
None of this makes any difference to the cabin controls, which remain unchanged.
