Top Gear magazine has officially named the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque its Car Of The Year for 2011 after snagging top honors in the SUV category. Perhaps even more impressively, Jeremy Clarkson also named the Evoque his favorite vehicle of 2011. The compact luxury SUV faced off against the likes of the BMW 1 Series M Coupe, McLaren MP4-12C and Ferrari FF among more common offerings. Top Gear celebrated in classic style by taking the Evoque on an African adventure through the deserts and mountains of Morocco. Sure beats handing an anonymous executive some cheesy trophy on stage.
Readers can find the full tale in any of the magazine's 29 international editions. Clarkson was joined by Richard Hammond, James May, Top Gear magazine editor-in-chief Charlie Turner and the publication's full editorial and road testing staff in picking the 2011 car of the year. The crew isn't the only batch of writers to honor the Evoque. The model has soaked up 34 international awards since it debuted. Follow the jump for the full press release. Click Here for link.

Land Rover San Diego is proud to be a sponsor of the 2010 Kawasaki's Disease Fun Day on May 8th. The KD Fun Day is an opportunity to bring our community together and to build awareness of this very misunderstood disease.
Kawasaki's Disease is the leading cause of acquired heart disease in children. Eighty percent of patients are less than five years old. Kids diagnosed with KD have a good chance of recovery; however if left untreated or misdiagnosed, Kawasaki Disease can lead to fatal coronary artery aneurysms. Unfortunately, there is no diagnostic test for KD.
Our goal is to launch the Quest for a Diagnostic Test, in support of scientists at the UC San Diego Kawasaki Disease Research Center working to create the vital diagnostic test. With the help of your pledge or sponsorship, we hope to raise a minimum of $25,000.
The KD Foundation will donate all proceeds from the KD Fun Day Quest for a Diagnostic Test to the UC San Diego Kawasaki Disease Research Center, along with a 25% match on the first $15,000 of donations.
