The new Jaguar XE is actually pretty damn nice, especially if you want something different.

1) I would have said the same about four VW microbus concepts ago.

Nah, the market can do better, Smoot-Hawley.

If we look up at the roof of this building there’s a lot of steel structure up there that’d [prohibit] some of the signals

I agree, TG could really shine if they can just shake off the old format and make it their own. Jezza, Hamster, and May didn’t try to copy an earlier show, they created TG from a mostly blank slate. Right now, it kind of feels like Van Hagar.

I was expecting, even without any reason behind it, to be closer to the TG US style of show.

Perhaps not the finest, but a great bachelor's sports mobile: The Infiniti G37S 6MT. Luxurious, sporty, practical, reliable, and fairly cheap even.
