RE: PH Blog: England v Germany
Discussion
At this price level what about the Maserati Grandcabrio with the new sport option ? It beats both on looks, sound, appeal, class and rarity. Now it has the latest upgrades on the gearbox it is a pleasure to drive with the paddles too. It even blips as it comes down the gears!!

A bit to "barry"???? In English someone.
Never come across that expression before?A bit to "barry"???? In English someone.
Roughly translates as a bit tacky or 'Max Power- esque':
E.g.. "Stanza's Corsa was starting to look a bit barry since he had fitted the whale tail spoiler and quad exhaust."

Heart says the Jag but I'd have to extensively test drive it and all competitiors before deciding for sure.....Please..........Anyone??
Is the "Barry" factor down to colour / spec choice? Could it be specified in black with black on black for instance? That would help to lose any excess detailing which may offend.
Incidentally, do we assume this article is the first of a series?

As a BMW fan I think I'd go with the 6'er, I love anything with an M badge, they're always brilliant.
HOWEVER - I haven't heard ANYTHING that sounds as good as that Jag engine. It sounds so astonishingly brutal and deep that alone could talk me in to buying one.
Even at idle pootling down the street at 15 mph they sound astonishingly good. Working in central London you see many supercars regularly but the Jag engine sounds the best.

Must say I like the the walrus face on the XKR-S. I even liked the release powder blue colour. But the thing I love most is the sound it makes. With all the talk of forced induction messing with exhaust noises, Jag supercharging doesn't seem to do any harm at all! Would love a manual option though, with a blue lit stick that rises out of the centre console!
