Damn this looks nice.

And for those worried about Land Rover reliability, well.........based on what the Evoque owners are saying, it seems that there may not be anything to worry much about.

Which is good or bad? I read a review of a guy who repeatedly have problem with the shift "****" not able to shift to drive and kept getting stranded in his evoque.

Not going to write a review but will give some short impressions of the new RR. Had some intimate time with it Friday and it is simply an amazing SUV. It is another vehicle that looks better in person than in photos and the fit and finish is amazing. The designers did a good job of evolution.

The winner is the interior, it is utterly fabulous. This one had a very light cream leather and of course a huge full sunroof for an airy feel. Back seat room is generous with tons of headroom as this is a nice upright SUV. The Aluminum, wood is amazing. You sit inside and you don't really wonder why the asking price was 95k with some options. It blows out any other SUV interior, LX 570 included.

The LCD dash and center console is amazing and touch screen for those that hate ***** Ride is plush as plush as can be.

Overall, I love it!

Although I agree, I think the biggest winner er loser is the RR as a whole. It lost 700lbs!!

I agree. When I was picking up my new Cayenne at the joint Land Rover/Porsche dealer, there was a 2013 RR on display. The quality was spectacular, really on another level. It made my Cayenne feel quite pedestrian. That's saying a lot because the Cayenne has received a lot of praise for the design and quality of the interior.

Could 700lbs be a typo-that is truly amazing. That can be achieved with going aluminum-Wow!
