I see a lot of Lambo Gallardo at the rear, and I’m glad they’re giving it a proper amount of power this time.
Cheers,

I don’t know, my first reaction was is that all? Then further disappointment upon reading other specs.
Also it looks like a bloody catfish.
How about not having a sig at all?

I concur, although what I think they actually mean, after it's been mangled through PR and press, is that the cupholders shuffle around to suit, depending on what the gyro sensor thinks the car is doing.

Isn't the simpler option to just not drive like a wazzock when you have a Starbucks in the car? :?

Maybe omit the cupholder completely for total simplicity.
