Land Rover: A year of Range Rover Evoque production and 80,000 sales

Land Rover is celebrating a year of Range Rover Evoque production and sales of 80,000 Evoques.

But that’s because Land Rover has managed to be right on the Zeitgeist with the Evoque, which conspires to offer a properly premium feel in a smaller package with no loss of ability compared to the full size Range Rover, so even car buyers with deep pockets can feel they’re being sane when they scratch their car buying itch and yet have no real compromise in ability or image.
