i do not envy folk who maneuver their rr's 'n disco's down narrow 'B' roads with dry stone walling either side ..
even if i had the slightly wider hippo2 i'd struggle to get out of my street
what with the way my neighbours park their cars
if my hippo goes .. i'll be looking at a fiat panda 4by4 .. 'n get the engine chipped
( i miss my old mini .. and motorcycle .. when it comes to local 'B' roads
Looks just like the Evoque to me... If the final product is gonna look like that (and with similar dimensions to the Evoque too), how does Tata intend to market the 2 vehicles??
+1 whatever happened to that distinctive land rover shape that stood out from a mile away?? Even the freelanders upon their introduction could hardly be mistaken for any other vehicle out there....
I ain't Captain Slow and I someday wish to drive the Nurburgring. BUT 1. I do not think it is the place to test a landy. 2. Hope they don't get all stiff with suspensions etc. Unless they plan a Race button which turns int into a Landrover GTR :flame2:
It is! since the evoque hand the hippo have the same intenstines and properties, they are most probably testing on it in order not to reveal the true shape of hippo 3 like freelander 1 was an austin maestro van during testing
What I ain't sure about is: a few days ago we had a thread that Freelander will be discontinued as a name
Evoque is aimed at an entry level to the range rover brand. They saw a gap in the market as the rrs and rr pushed higher. More prestige than the LR side of the company. Evoque starting price is higher than the Freelander starting price. Evoque offers an open top version too. Although they both use the same floor bits the Evoque seems to be smaller inside.
