I've always liked the Honda NSX package ,both old and new.

 

 

Interesting mix in the  eCoty 20th year coming up.

 

Contender, who would have believed it.

That's the BMW Z4 isn't it? Rumoured to have almost as much power as my 5 seater Octavia. Wonder whether it will be cheaper than a Porsche Cayman though.

Same power as my Skoda but only 364lb/ft (mine has 380lb/ft) and it will be considerably heavier than my 5 seater which weighs 1,370kg, my total modified price is £31,400. I don't even like the Z4 styling.

It's a lot of money for a Toyota. No turbo, so no real tuning potential. If they had made a GT-R rival then maybe, but no.

It must be good as Shmee is buying one. Another ton of money in his bank account then from Toyota / BMW.

Does he really need an 8th car in his underground bunker/garage. When he gets the TVR Griffith that will be no.9 Saw his review of the new Z4 and he didn't even seem to like it much so the decision to get the twin brother is somewhat of a surprise, but as you say the deal was sweetened knowing they would get plenty of plugs on his channel.

So he is buying the Toyota and not the BMW. Must be that Toyota are paying much bigger bucks into his coffers then.

Why do dealerships have salespersons when all you need is a YouTube video on a large screen in your showroom. With that warm smiling Shmee

He doesn't buy convertibles because they make too much noise whilst recording his You Tube gems of enlightenment. Imagine him trying to commentate while giving it the beans around the Nurburbring.

Thank goodness for Sales people in my local Ford & Kia Dealerships that know every aspect of the cars they are selling and are happy to take the time to go through everything with you.

What a different experience in the past week from my local Suzuki Dealership with clueless staff in Sales or Parts, and VW & Mercedes where they were happy to take orders for cars they can not deliver.

So my order made for a B-Class is cancelled because it was never going to be available as i specced, i am not having a Vitara, so the decision is Order a Kia Niro Hybrid for the Fuel Economy & comfort, 16" wheel basic or more stuff and full leather with 18" wheels.

Or stuff it and have the Petrol AWD Kuga Auto Sportline X that drinks fuel.  

I know which is visually my car i would rather drive for the next few years, but funnily both the Niro & Kuga were fun to drive.

First world problems, Kuga is better looking but the Niro will give better economy, surprised they are both fun to drive. If buying on Mobility at least you can drive upto 60,000 miles over 3 years without any penalties.

I am not leasing on Motability.

Not surprising they are fun to drive really in the real world in a area with great driving roads, good surfaces but with NSL's which are 60 mph on those roads,

(& points on ones driving licence.)

Sorry assumed after you mentioned the aftermath of your motorcycle accident.

Best not assume, assumption is the mother of all F***Ups.  I like to have interesting cars as well as a practical one, they do all have just 2 pedals though.

Really like this car.

This was my WTF moment /  vehicle of the day.  & that is from someone that likes Orange.   

(looks like it would be a good car for the Duke of Edinburgh.  If on it's roof just hitch it to the horses and tow it home.)
