It's a GT!

More beardy types could confirm

Perfect!

Bentley Arnage - sheer class!

In fact - give it a year and Conti GT will also be in budget......

Cab only fits 2 so sort of forced to take the coupe...

I would also want a manual myself this is a nice one

Oh and thanks for the mini comment

[AndyBrew]

Focus RS Mk 1 or 2 but I would go for the newer one!

[Jonnas]

I think the Maserati Quattroporte fits the bill pretty well......

[Red 3]

Some great alternatives.....Lotus Carlton! Yum, yum!

Audi V8 RS6 Avant (i have one),and i have had Subaru's and an Integrale and if we are talking "must hold 4 adults" regularly
then the only car above that comes close to the Audi is the M5.

Many of the others will feel seriously cramped with 4 adults onboard.

Jaguar XFR.

[Froomee]

Porsche 993 C2S

E46 M3 CS

Porsche 996 Turbo (if in budget)

VXR8

I'd feel like an idiot suggesting a Saab against all these other suggestions. That being said a 93 or 95 Aero will most definitely carry 4 people, the turbos are fun and the motorway consumption is better than most, but again it does depend on how you drive I guess.

A V6 MG ZS? Fun, spacey, not too harsh on the fuel, probably better than a quattroporte.

Trying to think outside the box.
