Definitely.

I watched a guy reverse park a Diablo in Tesco, he had the door up and was leaning out, looking behind, that is the way to park!!

... a list price over £35k

Completely arbitrary but it seems that beyond that price most of the luxuries that have been mentioned so far are shoe-horned in. Seemingly self-fulfillingly so, since an expensive car needs fancy features, and the more features it gets the more expensive it gets...

You bought the car because it's a 'sports' car, to drive and experience it's handling/performance and, most importantly the sound of the engine
Just seems a waste of money plus extra weight.

Sure have a standard one, but more than that, I've never really seen the point ....
JMHO
Because you don't want to be hearing the engine all of the time? Because if you're sat in traffic it's nice to have good quality audio?

I think he's implying it should be mid-engined.
