Looks like someone from Major League Baseball pumped steroids instead of gasoline into a Mini Cooper!

It DOES look cool, though.

In about 10 years when I can't bend my neck enough to get into the Vx (too much rugby!!)...

i love it too, kinda looks like a Isuzu Axiom that stepped 10 years in to the future.

That thing does look awesome. Even better than the outside is the inside. Back when they were showing off the white one, they had an iPhone integrated in the center console area which would act at the engine start button.

I dunno, looks like an expensive version of the Ford Edge to me. Yes better, but only slightly...

I was looking at the Landrover Freelander at one time.
It was somewhat like the VX but not as bad

It has now been officially announced as the Range Rover Evoque.

On the plus side - 2-doors!!! On the minus side - Posh Spice is their big promotional celebrity which suggest off-roading isn't high on the list expected uses. Maybe it will sell like crap and be available for a huge discount...

It has now been officially announced as the Range Rover Evoque.

The new 2011 Land Rover - Evoque. I like it. It's a true Coupe with 2-doors and very cool crisp clean lines, although many other brands of current vehicles share simular body lines (except they are all 4-door vehicles). According to the LR website, it's available in both 2WD & 4WD versions, but I wouldn't say it is off-road worthy. It would make a superior "Snow Vehicle" for a very rich couple (hence, 2-doors) to travel up to the Mountains for some snow-skiing in prestine in-your-face style. True off-road capable it is not, and it should remain in the urban-only environment. BTW; once the rich couple decides to have kids, they will part with it just like the VX and opt for a 4-door family type vehicle.

Price has not officially been announced, but based upon other LR's, I would speculate it will easily be $40+ K and may even approach $50K based upon various options. We'll have to wait and see. The LR - Evoque, is currently being displayed as we speak at the "Paris Motor Show", October 02 -- 17, 2010.

Is it worth a speculated $40+K with only a small turbocharged 2.0L and only worthy of being an inclement weather "snow vehicle" (at best)??? I would say, NO. In the meantime, I'll just stick with my off-road worthy Proton VX, and keep my fingers crossed for the Hummer H4/HX or perhaps the retro Ford Bronco (if either are ever built).

What would I do if I had an extra $40K sittin' around to blow on a car??? That's easy-- I'd buy a slightly used 2006 Corvette Z-06 in Velocity Yellow with 505HP and never look back!!!

should be a fun UAV... Urban Assault Vehicle (which btw is what my wife and I affectionately call our VX since we don't off-road it)

The front end looks a LOT like the '11 Ford Explorer!
