Ettore Bugatti must feel so smug now that Bentley actually make the fastest truck in the world.

It’s like Jeremy Clarkson explained about the Smart Roadster with his training shoe analogy. Sure, you’ll never actually go to the gym, but to have credibility the shoe needs to actually work as a training shoe. Same goes for SUVs people never take offroad and sports cars people never drive fast.

I love what Cadillac are doing with their design language. It’s not outright gorgeous, but it’s consistent without being repetitive and thoroughly unique.

Yeah, it’s pretty hilarious to see this car come out now after all that’s happened. All of Bugatti under VW ownership is a gigantic effort at showing the world you have bigger one than everybody else and you’re the best.

I don’t think Bugatti were going for retro-futuristic as much as Pagani were, though.

I think it looks good and I’m not interested in plastic surgery. Different people have different tastes.

Maybe. But the most famous Bugatti racecars of old were famous for their low weight and small-displacement engines compared to their competitors.

That is just your opinion. I think it looks nice.

Or the old Tiguan.

You say that as if a top-level Chrysler 200 is a luxury car that deserves the best there is. But it’s a Chrysler 200.

Rolls-Royce Ectoplasm.

As the author said, that’s hardly a concept car. It’s a show car. It looks exactly like the production car because at the time the 100EX was unveiled the design of the production Phantom Coupé was already finished.

I’m with you Tavarish. I waxed lyrical about it in another thread, but this car is not worthy to follow the DB9. To say that the DB9 is absolute perfection is an understatement. The DB11 is a big pile of meh.

But in the F-Type you don’t a get a full leather interior as standard AND an even fancier kind of leather as an option. Nor a V12.

Brogue isn’t a colour, it’s what those little holes in the leather are called:

Well, they don’t offer it as standard but for a premium I’m sure they’ll paint your car anything you want.

Aston hasn’t offered a “standard” British Racing Green for some time now. They have plenty of greens on offer but not the classic deep green. I don’t mind personally, I think classic BRG doesn’t work very well on modern cars.

I don’t know the i8 sales figures, but I wonder if being a 4-cyl hurts sales? I guess it must be a dealbreaker for some people looking to buy this sort of car, sometimes you just want a “proper” engine.

What a load of sexist malarkey.

I know, that’s why I said “as far as design is concerned”. My point is that it may not be as well-built as rivals (or so I’ve heard), but it looks damn good.
