Looks like we're back on the filler content until spring.
Didn't mind the Aston video, driving a 700 bhp car in the cold on winter tyres and complaining about not being able to get the power down seemed a bit silly though.
I think he was comparing it to the Bentley conti gt which could do that no problem due to the 4WD. But yes, you'd think 700hp would marmalise the rear tyres in dry, warm conditions, let along make it a bit twitchy at 2.5 deg C

The Aston is a lovely looking thing.
As has been said, modern summer tyres are surely excellent these days and would make a massive difference to traction levels.

I think Harry has cataracts, he seems to think the styling works. I think it looks like a Japanese cartoon. Sounds pretty good mind.

I've seen a few around Brum now and really like the styling, especially in dark colours
Looks hilarious fun in the twisties in the video too

i think it’s good of Toyota to lend Lamborghini a shitty car for them to pimp up and include in their range. Is it some kind of emissions work around like they did with Aston on the iQ/Cygnet or just a bet gone wrong?

It's a fucking abomination.
And don't give me the 'Cayenne' excuse, because Lambo are doing just fine without this POS in their stable.

For some reason I assumed that the Anus was a v12. At least it would then seem that there was some point to it. As soon as I realised it was only a V8 I stopped the video and started watching something else as it’s clearly just an uglier Q7
I know it’s in reality continuing a trend started with the Evoque but how the hell could you be a rear seat passenger with windows like that - it’d feel like being trapped in a pillbox.

Q8 actually looks decent compared to other 4x4 coupes in this sector and should be nicer in the rear with it’s less aggressive sloping roof so it’s a bit odd how they got the styling so wrong on this.

I can certainly see the appeal of the Urus but as Harry says £200k for a daily is crazy.

I fucking love the Urus. I liked it before but Harry's video has made me want one more. It even rides well; that's brilliant.

They don't quite let you go full Jobbo, but at least you can have a matching steering wheel.

Not watched the video yet but I like them. I too had assumed it was a V12

Nice that they've partnered up with a UK firm to ensure you can get replacement mats easily:
