Re: JLR seeks 1000 staff for Evoque
Doubt it. I earn quite a bit more than that and with morgage, kids etc I doubt I'll be able to afford one.
Not without financing myself to ridiculous levels, which is presumably how most people afford these things?

Re: JLR seeks 1000 staff for Evoque
It may have something to do with the fact that the RR Evoque is made largely of Aluminium whilst the Freelander is made of Steel. So that and the added complexity of a Premium car like the RR Evoque may explain the increase in staff. It pehaps shows why this is such an upmarket car.
