i will partially agree however with the brand reputation. after hearing awful consumer experiences from the past, i thought they had turned the corner with the evoque, after seeing shit like this-

and my wife was obsessed with the looks of the thing. and in all actuality it's a fantastic car, i just think this particular one has been run through the ringer. i have an honest suspicion that this one may have been used in one of the local dealership's "events"... you know, the ones where they have new customers come out and do 'off-roading' things. hence, brand new transfer case followed up by a terrifying wheel bearing noise before its first oil change.

i would have been fine with taking a straight up replacement, but i think after all is said and done with jaguar/lr proper pulling a silent treatment and forcing my hand with legal representation, i'm replacing it with a macan.
