I mentioned that although I am not a truck guy, I was taken by the Evoque the other day. on Twitter.
Motor Trend [1] just named the Evoque the 2012 Motor Trend SUV of the Year:
“In the enthusiast’s dream, all sports cars have manual transmissions and all SUVs are body-on-frame. But as so often is the case, reality does not intersect with our fantasies. Ferraris — save for one — no longer have manual transmissions, and car-based crossovers are rapidly pushing traditional SUVs to the brink of extinction. In a world that appears increasingly hostile to an all-SUV brand like Land Rover, adaptation is the only option. Some adaptations are failures. Others are Motor Trend Sport/Utility of the Year winners. The Range Rover Evoque is most certainly the latter.”
