The FJ is designed for the US preppy University market, much the same as the BMW Z3 was. Something as the reward for entering the rat race at the right level. Sometimes you need to see a car from another context to understand it. To get a good view of the Evoque you need to be standing in Chelsea looking for a parking spot.....whoops. I just don't get why J are making a LR. Internal competition like that is just dumb.

The funny thing about the Evoque is that I have never seen one being driven by a bloke in the UK, and I've never seen one being driven by a woman in France. Make of that what you will....

The evoque and this jag (which looks like an evoque in silk pajamas) will probably continue to sell and sell well. If that supports jag to keep building great saloons, and RR to keep making proper off roaders then that is fine. 10 years after Porsche they are realising the truth, that just having iconic cars isn't a business model - you have to shift metal...

But what are they going to call it ? XM for mud, no that was a Citroen. XD for dirty, no also used XL for Land Rover in disguise. NO I have it. XC for X-rossing Chelsea.

Or, If you seek the practicality of an Evoque combined with the open top appeal of your classic - how about this?
