LHD only and no parts availability unless you wait an alleged 48 hours (in reality I suspect it'll be a lot longer) for the stuff to come from Germany? That tells me there's no dealer network, you're on your own.

Posh folks dumping their rangies at the bottom of the mountain and driving up in a Niva?? Which they just happen to have lying around waiting for them in klosters or wherever? Can you imagine anyone with an Evoque actually doing that! Dream on!!!

For the price its up against a 2 year old L200, I know where my money would be going.........
