I think they've lost the plot. Too many confusing overlaps.
Agreed. Main dealer lent me an Evoque last month while the Disco was in for a service. Looked at one in the showroom on my return and an identical cast was priced at £49,995 - for a car which provides the functionality of a posh VW Golf. The Evoque then overlaps substantially with the Velar which overlaps the R-R Sport. Really doesn't make a lot of sense. I understand the Discovery / Discovery Sport distinction - toy car vs work-horse - but cannot understand the logic of the Range-Rover range at all.

Paul, I think it's all about (self) image. You have equine leanings so obvs a disco. A yachtsman would have a range rover. A lightweight would have an evoque. My wife has an evoque incidentally. At least she can get up the lane today.

At least she can get up the lane today. That is what JLR are cashing in on. Of course, the Evoque does look good at the golf club.

The overlap gets even funnier when you consider the Jaguar SUV models. They even have the same paint colour including names. With the volumes of the VW/Audi/Seat/Skoda/etc I can understand this but with the volume of JLR this feels like a problem in the making?
Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

Too right Paul. If you turn up in a golf they make you park in the artisans area

Too right Paul. If you turn up in a golf they make you park in the artisans area  A bit like turning up to a horse trials with a scruffy Land-Rover SIII towing a scruffy Rice trailer. We were made to park at the bottom of the hill a long way away from the posh horse boxes. I wonder if that is why  decided that we needed our own lorry-box at that point. BTW - our local golf course now makes people who turn up in Transits etc park outside.

Particularly if they're driven by women.
