The front is aggressive and the best angle. The side on the 3 door - the rear window looks tiny but maybe it's ok, on the 5 door it's wrong. The rear is a disaster, really messy and frankly very ugly.
We should applaud RR for trying to do something different but the styling exercise should not have made it into production.
You may say there are plenty of people buying them and that's true. They just don't have style and they won't look as smug as they do today when there's are lots around and everyone gets over their newness and sees the styling for what it is. The Evoque might as well have been styled by a footballer - lest we forget Vicotria Beckahm put her name to some to the interior design, ironically some of the best features.
So yes, all show and no go but the show part has very little style.

Totally agree with this. Good post.
