Got this overnight for a test drive:


Hopefully get a few daylight shots before I have to give it back tomorrow.

Nice














Comes with free tree-through-the-roof feature too.











Nice shot!

That's very cruel of you Beano...

...and anyway, a bit of photoshop and it'll look much better:

I guess it would be very wrong to say we kinda liked the car then?

Actually, I only saw it at the motor show, so have no experience of it on the road. I have to say I don't like the look of it. What does it drive like?

Honestly:

Very quick in a straight line, but it ain't no sports car in the corners.
Missus likes it because it looks quick (even parked up) and the interior looks good.
Interior is not up to the quality of the Merc it's based on though.

Driving it, well, let's just say you get noticed.

I think it is quite a photogenic car.

Overall a good Grand Tourer for 2 people and a weekend bag.

I'm sure lots of people will disagree.
