Question is, is it going to go the "short" way round or the "long" way round via Baltimore, Panama Canal and The US West coast or the via the Suez Canal, Singapore, Ningbo and Yokohama.....................
Ships, boats, schooners...all the same to me!
I guess the dealer will keep me posted in true Japanese service style.

For Europe they use the Hull area not sure what they use for the rest of the world.

Thanks x2! That should help me in about a week to two weeks time

IIRC LR ships USA cars destined to eastern owners into Baltimore then they get distributed from there, not sure how your car will get from there to Ohio though possibly by rail.

Yes Baltimore I knew about from emailing with dealer waiting for them to get a 2014 for my test drive. Rail or truck are both possible I think. Thanks again!

Curious, from Southampton England, where do USA bound Evoques arrive and get distributed from?
bought mine from a dealer in Tennessee, USA and had it shipped to Los Angeles, then via Korea and Taiwan to my home country-Philippines

With delivery a few weeks away, it's time to plan the road trip. One of the few places I haven't visited in Japan is the island of Shikoku, and apparently going via the small islands interconnected by bridges is pretty cool. Should be a good mpg/lpk test!
The next question is which speed camera/radar detector to install. Mmmmm.

One that can be mounted in the gap where a smart reader for tolls can be mounted or one that can work through a heated front screen as it appears that some makes don't like heated front screens
