So we got a 2015 Range Rover Evoque
Who would’ve thought that, 3 years ago when the Range Rover Evoque debuted, it was a sign of things to come, as the new face of Range Rover. Could it be that the Evoque is now the new “original” Range Rover? Anyway, our last experience with the Evoque wasn’t very satisfying, with its lethargic drivetrain and non-adjustable suspension in the mid-range version we drove. So we asked for it again, and this time, it’s equipped with a new 9-speed automatic and dynamic suspension.
First drive: 2014 McLaren 650S Spider in the UAE
“Why’s everybody staring?” asks my passenger. “Of course everybody’s staring. It’s a McLaren.” “But no one’s taking any pictures.” And that’s true. When we had the previous MP4-12C parked anywhere, it caused hordes of impromptu-paparazzi to teleport from out of nowhere to pose with the car and take photos. This time, our 650S Spider tester should’ve been even more of a selfie-attraction, with its P1-derived front-end and bright-orange paintjob. But based on what we noticed, maybe McLaren-fatigue is setting in among the general public, as the 650S doesn’t appear to be anything more than a facelift of a 2-year-old model.
