Will you leave her for this?

Agreed. If money was of no concern; yes, I'd already have a RR Evoque 2-Door Coupe sitting in my garage. I absolutely love it!!! I commend LR/RR for stepping away from the normal 4-door SUV paradox, and once again building a 2-door coupe utility vehicle (besides the infamous D-90 Defender). Just to stay competitive with the other auto makers, there is also a 4-door Evoque available.

Incidentally, I used to own a 1997 (last year of USA model) Limited Edition D-90 Defender serial #127/300 made. It too; like the Evoque was a $50K vehicle, but I quickly sold it after only putting on 1,600 miles (yes, sixteen-hundred) because the D-90 specifically didn't have the "creature comforts" I felt it should have had at that price point with its very cramped shoulder/elbow room and gawd-awful MPG. True; the D-90 Defender is highly off-road capable, but it doesn't even come close to my incomparable 1978 FJ-40 in off-road worthiness and ability.

The RR Evoque is the apitomy of luxury SUV's and its beautiful lines are simply breathtaking from every angle. Like all LR/RR vehicles it is off-road capable, but I would be absolutely terrified in getting it possibly scratched if taken off-road. Thus, the Evoque is likely best served as a very pompus Winter "snow vehicle" to thumb your nose at the less fortunate middle-class while traveling to/from the ski resort. Plus, putting larger oversize off-road tires on the Evoque would take away from its sleek beauty IMHO. That is where the VX differs from the Evoque, in that the VX is more accomodating with larger rubber shoes, and may not bleed as bad if the VX is scratched/scuffed during an off-road encounter. Still, the ultimate VX replacement vehicle would have been the Hummer HX/H4 which is now only a dream due to the recession.

My vote would be to have both-- the RR Evoque Coupe for urban warfare and Wintertime snubbing, and the VX for when it's time to venture off-road in modern style. Having both parked side-by-side in the driveway would really piss-off the neighborhood (and I like doing that).

Agreed. Its a good addition to the collection. VX is irreplaceable!!! LOL
