That 400R is stunning, I can see why it’s worth so much as it’s a massive icon and there can’t be many original blue to have ever existed ?

You need to spend time with more aristocrats, none have shoes that clean or pressed trousers.

Good day to you sir.

I said good day!!

Nissan Micras are the right place for metallic mauve.

It actually looks ok in the 500e, but awful on the SL imo.

Liking the colour on an E-Class four door but not the coupe is a particular kind of fussy :lol:

A mauve SL is a step too far into cougar town for my liking!

Meh - 500e's are always a separate discussion.

This is a man you ask to park your car.

Now now, that's a different colour; Bentley Magenta.
The C124 looks to have a beige (and, hopefully, wood) interior.

Wow. So close, shame I have an unjustified dislike for the 320 engine after trying a fairly tired 320TE once. Also doesn't look like a Sportline based on the proportions of the wheels.

Oh, and this Brabus G-Wagen will see you outside if you don't like Bornite:

I spotted a Taycan Cross Turismo on my way to work this morning. Looked lovely, but made me want one of the V8 diesel Panameras; sadly they never came in the estate form but they were at least in the second gen, prettier, Panamera. Which has made me want this:

Then I remembered that the Audi SQ7 had the same engine and that led me to find this, the first Q7 I've liked:

When a V6 diesel Q8 has gone up from a base price in the low-£40k region a year ago to £50k now, that SQ7 looks a reasonable deal.

Not a fan. What is the trend with making the gauge cluster look like a 90s stereo? I think your A6 is nicer.

The front end on the Q7 is a mess. I thought it was an undercover police car at first. Not sure why some manufacturers have such obvious radar systems whereas others manage to hide them in the bodywork just fine.
How about not having a sig at all?

The Q7 is particularly cheap and nasty looking.

The Panamera is lovely.
