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.

Probably because they’ve nothing else to put in it

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... )

White Chevrolet Corvette Stingray (Think it was a C3?) Very cool looking thing and brave taking it out in the ice

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

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.

Ugly ugly cars @Matty - always looked super-flabby to me.

That particular example looks kosher to me.

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

The numberplate

Didn't see that. I'll concede the point.

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.
