Impressive like a 4GHz dual core PC is 'impressive' but hardly starts the heart beating faster. Soulless. Like an Impreza. Blistering performance, but done 'by the book' with no style.
Now an Integrale... or a Montecarlo S3...
The Italians have style. They go fast in an entertaining way. Toyota do it well, but hey, M&S make edible food. I'd still rather have a pile of steamed crab claws at a cool restaurant on Daytona Beach. Know what I mean?
At the moment I really fancy a Vauxhall Monaro. There's one for sale at the Vauxhall dealer just down the road and I'm getting seriously tempted to go for a test drive...
ok so it doesn't look impressive or even nice or anything but like a 1980's butt ugly box on wheels 4x4. It could even be the larger predecessor to the lada niva cossack in terms of looks (ok so maybe that's taking it too far). but... money no object this has to be in the running
it's the new G-Wagen, Mercedes-Benz G55 AMG. Sheer mind blistering specs, and as practical as a surf (almost).
5.5l supercharged v8 24v handbuilt engine
493 bhp, 516 lb-ft torque
0-60 in 5.4 seconds
locking front rear & centre diffs
no way! Just cos hamster tried one out in a quarry a few years ago!
Anyway, there's a newer G class, not sure if it replacing the older one though...
Land Cruiser 80 or 100 all the way for me. Having said that I'd like a new Civic as a run around too...
hmm. I'd like to be adventurous but I don't like cars that are common or too flash. 'cept for the new civic, which isn't that common just yet.
http://www.mbusa.com/models/main.do?modelCode=G55 still going strong just not a uk model, wanna watch the video and listen to the sound clip but everyone else is asleep, don't think they'd appreciate waking up to a v8 in the next room
