Their new showroom in Knightsbridge has opened and has the concept car in it. Surprised they’re sticking with it considering how poor the reaction was.
How about not having a sig at all?

Not spotted by me. Wows.

A Cerrara GT. Looks so convincing. MR2 based apparently.

apparently? maybe just on a phone sized screen - but even with the kit, when it first comes round the corner it looks more like an MR2 than a CGT! You can’t hide the proportions and the screen!

Corvette C8 ZR1 - No Pics. Trundling its way up Tickford Street approaching Aston Martin.

It's an imposing thing (but it was really struggling with the speed bumps... :lol: )

McLaren GT, I came across it twice and both times the driver had an entire wheel over on the opposite side of the road :roll:

The Chinese are coming.. too late, already here! Not a bad looking pickup. Tried to convince my gf and daughter that a Jimny would be a sensible car in the Caribbean, but they both just rolled their eyes..

Two spots today, first a Cadillac Lyriq. Didn't even know they sold them here. It looked like any other EV SUV.

And while filling up the car at the next pump was a Cavalier V6 CDX saloon. Can't remember the last time I saw one of them.

They need to bring trim levels names like "CDX" back. Sounds proper. All this "X-Line" and "M-Sport" is too fruity.

CDX: Corps Diplomatique X. The trim level for the discerning diplomat who needs a bit more, yet is cost conscious enough to prefer a Vauxhall.

Lexus SC430.... Always wonder if these were as bad as they said. The one I saw clearly had a modified exhaust and sounded fantastic.
That being said, difficult to look past the SLK55 if you want a small V8 convertible.

How so? It doesn't chew cud, nor does it have cloven hooves.

Not sure I’d class the sc as a small convertible, they always looked like a big Yank targeting boat, more like 5 series / e class size.
