This months Evo

[H5V VE]

Super Saloon test including the VXR8 GTS

Seems to hold its own pretty well against some way more expensive kit.

I thought that the write up was pretty positive.

Interesting - my subs copy didnt drop through the door this morning . Hopefully tomorrow then.

What did they put it up against?

[H5V VE]

The article was really about the M5 30 Jahre edition but the test was

M5 - as above (£91,890)
Audi RS7 Sportback (£84,480)
Jag XFR-S (£79,995)
MB E63 AMG S (£84,710)
Porsche Panamera GTS (£93,391)
VXR8 GTS (£54,499)

Absolute bargain. (all prices "as tested")

Yup, and when you consider how much the majority of those depreciate (I've seen 5/6 year old XFR's for 20k), I think the GTS wins here as well.

Now come on Dougie, just because your lot are crap at Rugby, doesn't mean you have to forego a little tongue in cheek humour.

If you're at the 73rd MM tomorrow, I'll come and find you, give you a little man hug to say sorry XX

Yerp will be
But probably in disguise as my dad is talking about wearing a onesie

Hahaa.

I am wearing a Onesie, coz Dougie is wearing a Nappy.

Any more lip from you son and you won't get Alphabetty Spaghetti and no happy meal on the way home.
