I just found this rather funny comparative review..
If you want a SUV next to your FT... F-Pace or Velar.. ??

Just watched it. Very good. Very funny. I'm going to try that exhaust crackle trick. But probably when my g/f is not in the car.

Back to the original question, I couldn't believe they thought the Velar looked better than the F-Pace. That bulbous front end looks awful to my eyes. Maybe the colour makes a difference too, I'm a blue person.

The Velar looks more "Range Rover-ish" , so has more 'curb appeal' , although I doubt if its the right phrase in this context..
The bleu is for me also a reason to lean towards the F-Pace. But I notice that using 3 cars of different makes [ J / LR / Alfa ] ,
is annoying regarding the location of the controls. As the F-Pace is much like the F-Type [ at least the steering wheel ] , I prefer it.
But at the same time I really HATE the 'turning knob' to change gears. Which idiot invented that ..
The only car with a decent 'gear change' like the F-Type is the present RR-Sport , but this is due for replacement...
I think I'll sit back and wait for the new Evogue which is supposed to get the Velar interior and a stick-shift...
The Evoque will be bigger and available with a hybrid engine, so I can go into the city in electric mode when they ban ICE...

Dan, the F-Pace SVR has the pistol shifter from the F-Type if you're trying to convince yourself that you need an SUV And the same 550PS engine as the F-Type R.Dan_Veluwe wrote: βMon Sep 17, 2018 12:24 amThe Velar looks more "Range Rover-ish" , so has more 'curb appeal' , although I doubt if its the right phrase in this context..

Thanks for rubbing it in...
The FT V8 costs from β¬ 190.000 here... I think an F-Pace SVR will start from β¬ 210.000 , of which β¬ 130.000 is taxes...
