That model pre-dates the Discovery 3 (which is a really excellent design).

Understood, which is why I quoted 'update' in apostrophes. That 90s concept could still tie the current car to its current RR siblings now - the narrowing of the front lights and grill and the side strake part, plus the generally more shporty profile.

[NomduJour]

But, "Vision puts design at the core, design which resonates on an emotional level". Not sure if that one resonates enough.

Low estimate, shame about the colour:

I love these. I actually like the Merak and the Khamsin in red. And the Mistral convertible now that I think of it, but no other Maserati road car.

Almost cheap by Ferrari standards:

Autocar article today for joesnow.......

[joesnow]

This is good news SM, thanks.
I've been enjoying the slipper in the back of my car lately. Since moving house, I've found theres a perfect island on the way to work for a little shuffle.
The 330 was good too, but since changing back to the summer tyres less prone to fun.

What Coupe?



Utterly scrumptious

[joesnow]

That looks proper doesn't it.
I recon an M4 Gran Coupe would be great, myself, despite the stupic name.

[ManOpener]

I've always maintained that, for every generation that BMW have produced an M3 4-door saloon, it's bee a more attractive prospect than the coupé.

It seems this rather outspoken view is finally being vindicated.

[joesnow]

Its actually what we want the M5 to be I suspect.
The new M3 is pretty much the size of the E39 5 don't you think?

[richtea78]

I'd agree but I'd really be interested in seeing an M3 Touring.

Are they making an M2? I would think its a shoe in but not sure?

[Beefmeister]

New M3 is within an inch in every dimension of the e39.

And yes, 2M coming.

Moosey - you going to the bmw drive day in Bracknell on the 8th?

^ M2 () is an interesting proposition, but if BMW ever make an M2 gran coupe, or even an x-drive M235i gran coupe I'll be on it!

I'm going off the fact that the predecessor was the 1M. I know that was so it didn't sully the M1 name, but I'd wager it'll be the 2M...
