Just imagine telling your mates what you ride on a daily basis :)
As much as it pains me slightly to say it, I think the looks of the Evoque are growing on me.

matt black paint, i'd of imagined the Victoria edition would of been pink with flowers. Plus £80k for a Freelander on steroids lol

Nope. Just no. No No No!!!
It looks like one of little MRP's HotWheels Street cars, and sometimes I stand on them;))

For 80k I would expect it to come with at least a free hand job from VB herself!

These just look like Freelander on steroids.
I was speaking to a guy a few months ago who spent a few grand, on top of the £80,000 he'd already paid, to have his brand new M3 painted matt black. He said it was the worst mistake he'd ever made. There was no approved way of cleaning it. He had to take it back to BMW every time he needed it cleaning. There was the occasional company who would take their product to BMW and he was allowing his car to be guinee pig.
That said, it does look really good on same cars. I recently saw a 56 plate Astra convertible in matt black (probably a wrap) and frankly it looked cack!

Look at this, no seat belt, doing a pretty poor job at a 3 pointer, unless he's planning to go "off road" on some grass? Is this the sort of person who will be driving these things?

Disgraceful! I mean, look at where he's stopped the bloody car! He's never going to get up the track from that angle.

I was just sick in my mouth a little bit..
Convertible looks hideous, but no doubt half the cast of ' the only way is Essex' will have one

i like them ,well the front looks good but the rear looks rubbish.i go to haleswood alot to the factory were they are built.they are going to make a performance model soon too.the deisel does go well with 174bhp too.americans and asia luv them and they are good on fuel too.but i would have the 4wd not the 2wd thats for cheap skates lol
Post 490233 by p fandango on 2012-04-23 16:24:10
it looks like their determined to make the rear view mirror useless. Tiniest window possible for the tin top, rear higher than the front on the convertible
Post 490286 by Rhys on 2012-04-23 17:39:57
On dear, the convertible will only do a better job of showing everyone else who the knobjocky behind the wheel is lol

I like the front half of this car, the designers look like they got bored from the front door back though.
