    What do we think?

    Waste your money where you want. You're not impressing me one bit. Personally I'd by a KIA before a Range Rover.

    Yep, you guys will be the first to see it if I pull the trigger.

    Honestly though, I still need to schedule a test drive. I've driven cars before that I though were a sure thing (loved the interior, exterior, price, etc.), but after the first 5 minutes of the test drive I knew it wasn't going to happen. I was also surprised at how much smaller it is in person verses the picture I've seen. Not that that's a bad thing, just an observation.

    Yes, you need to test drive, but if it drives anything like the Sport, you'll pull the trigger. They drive amazingly. The Sport is smaller then most SUV's, but it seems big inside.

    *Note* All I am saying is based off of the RR Sport, as I have not been in an Evoque, which is why I am basing my thoughts off the Sport

    Good to know, thanks for the info!

    I wouldn't mind the Sport (w/ supercharger package) in Baltic Blue with the 5 spoke gloss black wheels (built one online earlier), but I think if I'm going to drop 80k on a new car, it'd be a fun weekend/track car (i.e., used 911, new GTR, new Z06, etc.) instead.

    IDK if you alreay knew this, but Land Rover makes Range Rover. Range Rover are just the bigger models.

    And the video doesn't work

    Yes, supercharged is always the way to go if you have money:D

    And I agree. Maybe look for a slightly used one, if you are interested. Try find one for under 50k, then buy an extended warranty.

    Hope I have helped

    Go for it! I guarantee you'll regret it.

    I'm old enough to have been there and done that, I'm sure I can't change your mind so only your own sad experience will prove it to you.

    Not a bad idea.

    I just realized I forgot to look at the Audi Q7 while I was a the dealership today (dohh!!). I think I'll try to squeeze in a test drive in one of them before going to the Range Rover dealership to drive the Evoque. Looks like next weekend should be pretty fun :D

    I know, it was a joke.

    and the vid does in fact work on my end. You on a phone? some videos don't work on phones.

    edit, just click the link in the middle of the vid screen and it will work.
