I do like it... But I don't need it...

 

Our Yeti finally killed off the Land Rovers we had but didn't need.

 

Didn't need offroad ground clearance or badge prestige, but we did need a capable tow car to exploit to the max - you and I have previously traded kind words on our marginally bonkers boat towing so you know we're certifiable! ;-)

Hang on to your Yeti if it's big enough because it's inevitably going to get bigger and invisible.

Certainly looks like the new Yeti's heading for the 'white goods blander'......

 

Such a shame.

Yes on F-Pace / XE platform.

 

Until they bring the XF Estate back there is nothing in the Jaguar line which suits me.

 

I was considering a new jag until they said no XF Shooting Brake would be coming.

There was talk of an XF Estate being unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show, but not heard anything.

I did hear of a 2017 release of a new one.

 

If true that should give them about 18 to 2 years months to iron out the kinks and be perfect timing for me to see if it's worth a change.

Saw one of these in the flesh today. Very nice inside, comfortable driving position and sleek design. 

 

Sits nicely between the Evoque and the RR Sport.

There's one due in 2018

Saw a Macan GTS the other day, didn't float my boat

Clean compact understated......I'd put up with one.

See you need a Turbo S in the brilliant, but rare Ignition Red.

The one I saw was black on black. "Murdered out" look according to TGs Rory.

Made it look like a squashed Toureg

Saw one in Italy the same black on black. Its an fugly yoke imo..

 

Here's the colour. Looks fantastic in the flesh. 

Not seen it on any other VAG cars unless someone knows different?

Better but I don't think I'll ever like hot 4x4s.

 

I think I'd rather have a defender V8 and another speedy toy
