“DOES THE RED CAR
in the lot belong to
you?” asks the manager at Silver’s at the
Wharf, an elegantly homey seafood joint
tucked below Highway 1 in Fort Bragg,
Calif. I nod, figuring there’s a good chance
I le the headlights on. “Well, in that case, I
don’tmind telling you that your ordermay
take a li le longer than usual. Our cooks
can’t stop staring at it.”
I don’t blame them. While youwouldn’t
normally expect the sight of a compact
SUV to bring a kitchen to a standstill,
there’s just something about the lines of
the Range Rover Evoque that holds the
gaze (asmy oldhigh school buddyKris and
I noticed at almost every stoplight we hit
on our way out of the Bay Area). It’s a look
that seems to recognize both the familiar
and the revolutionary; a look that all but
gasps, “What
is
that?”
It’s a fair question. British carmaker
LandRover and its luxury offshoot, Range
Rover, have always excelled at producing
behemoths that look equally at home
