I believe the original question was "Will you leave your VX for this?" NOT "Is this a suitable replacement for the VX that has the same capabilities and characteristics?" I mean, you are answering a completely different question. Of course it can't match the VX for the things you do with your truck, but it would be far superior for the things I do with mine. I drive to work on roads, run errands on roads, drive family and friends around and on trips on roads, haul some stuff in the back and occasionally on the roof, but again, I do it on roads. On occasion I have to go over a curb, drive up a grassy hill, or through a moderately deep puddle after rain flooding. That's it, and the Evoque would have no trouble with those functions. The VX is a fantastic truck in both appearance and capability, but come one it has its faults, number one and two being ride comfort and fuel efficiency. If we flipped the question around, do you think the RR Evoque owners would answer with anything other than disbelief that this was even a question? Ride comfort, interior styling, efficiency, oil burn etc etc as they reeled off a lengthy list of characteristics in which their vehicle is vastly superior. I sometimes get a little frustrated reading car/truck enthusiasts rip on some vehicle because it does not perform at some standard that 99.5% of the driving public has no interest in meeting.

Its not even off road capable! I just perused it on the rover site. It is their smallest and most fuel efficient LRX car based vehicle!

"Pure - the purest expression of the LRX concept car."

CAR CAR CAR, the VX is not a CAR
You guys are killing me, first you compare some Acura/Honda hatchback to the VX, now some Ford car. You guys have to at a minimum pick something that has a frame, not unibody, and it has to be able to go off road.

This thing is a rebadged Ford Edge.
