Totally agree and the evoque is beautiful.I'd also add this is a BMW x3 forum so as owners, we may certainly be biased.
I'd also add:
-that the evoque is an odd mix of parts with its Ford motor and how long will that be supplied? I doubt it's as good as the bmw turbo 4.
- it's a little fancy, putting form way ahead of function. Reallly nice Barbie car.
- remember, you're also buying the company that is building the car. While TaTa may be great, they may also get tired of LR the way BMW and Ford has.
- finally , the evoque's promo videos that i've seen, push it towards luxury first. The one with Gerry McGovern ( i think thats his name), the design director, is horrific and sells the car as more a tool of snobbery. it's the marketing that's really turned me off. If RR's marketing referenced more of their storied history, had the performance I might have looked deeper.
I went to the early show and tell in Portland and the people there were a different breed. Way too ostentatious and I'd say bordering on second or third generation useless - living off someone else's success.
I think most of us on this forum buy BMW for the performance and quality of the engineering.
Good luck with your decision.
