Squire,
The VW is undoubtedly the better car but then again, you could ditch all pretence, don the gold chainery and bling yourself silly at this level with a biturbocharged or s/charged AMG Merc.
Which of course is out of the question, thus, the meander back to the 6.75 menu is unavoidable.
The Continentals look magnificent but are basically too compromised...in the face of later Arnages.
You really must look at the Arnage R: twin turbos and a perfectly adequate vat of warming lard in the oven, it suffers less of the crashing displayed by the T variant and defines the point perfectly, traversing the line between the minimum level of acceptable, contemporary dynamic whilst willfully resisting the allure of too many ticks with too much wedge and absolutely no idea.
If you need the thick end of 200 from a non-out and out supercar, the Ferrari 456 is an acceptable alternative, as detailed in Buckley's latest piece in the latest Autocar (he prefers the Continental.)
Those Arnages, though: they may be too small next to the prev gen Rs but for simply aiming at the vermin and shouting loudly at their body piercings, what else is there?
