If this "take perfection and double it" thing is about seats you'd think they would go more down the FF or Panamera route though.

Why is it mandatory to use this space for tacky jewellery on performance cars nowadays?

I don't see how rear-seat passengers could even see out.

Is it me or does the back wheel look a good 2-3 inches bigger than the front?

Certainly looks like it matches the sketch - don't know how anyone thought that would be a 4-door sedan.

But Doug, would you buy a 360 with 100k on it?

Needs more grille. Some of the front of the car still isn't made from black plastic mesh.

Is this belt-line high enough? It looks like the guy could still see out if he turned his head.

It may sound good, but that's not the sound of your engine, it's a synthetic noise played by a computer through the speakers. So why not hear a V8 in your Kia? It's no more real or fake than the noise in your BMW.

But what's the difference anymore?

You're right, I was thinking of the engine in the SL/CL/S/E 55 AMG.

This thing looks spectacularly similar to the old one.

It was a fairly conservative evolution of the Mk3, I always thought.

Alfa 145 is a good choice.

Hey it's a good thing they decided to divorce the badge numbers from the actual engine capacities, otherwise this kind of thing could get confusing!

The 6.2 wasn't the same as the supercharged 5.5 it replaced, either. Sometimes change is good.

The magazine quotes "a highly placed source" in a U.S. dealer group as saying Lotus doesn't plan on re-engineering their car to meet the new standard, so that could mean an end to Evora sales.

Terrible things were done in the name of standardized headlights.

The 996 GT3 was the just about making 100hp/l without induction back then, but the S2000 was in a league of its own.
