I forget these are only just getting properly released now. I've seen them on the roads around here for a few months now, look fantastic in my opinion. I love the rear of them.

I like the way the back end tucks in. The back of the door area.

Same here, there's been one parked outside nearly every night for the last few weeks. They must be finishing off the final tests

This one was a bit weird, had writing and stickers all over it and was an LHD.

JLR are bringing out a lot of interesting models in the coming years.

I've driven an Evoque, and although a bit gay, they're lovely cars. The interior's fantastic. I got a lift in an xf sportbrake the other day and again the interior struck me as being absolutely fantastic. It was the smallest engine model but it still drove incredibly well.

Every time I go to The Fort I see 3 or 4 just on the way there... I suppose it is near the factory but I thought these were already out? These ones I saw weren't on trade plates

Development/prototype vehicles don't use trade plates. They just use plates which have been assigned to the vehicle.
