Looks like it's on steroids.

Looks like it's on steroids.

I bet it goes like it is with 316 bhp

[aaronjb]

Looks nice, great engine (related to the 370Z but with different valve train IIRC), should be bulletproof reliability wise..

..shame "we" (Japan, in this case) only got the semi skimmed engine and didn't get the V8 as an option like the Americans.

Seen a few of these around recently, ugly look like they have raided several part bins.

I prefer distinctive.

But at least it is not  bland.....like much of the opposition.

.. or French.

Have a look at the 2016 megane GT....far from bland.

I really don't wanna spoil folks day but....is there anything more bland than an omega?

Peugeot 605? Utterly forgettable in every way; you arrive at your destination with a vague feeling of travelling, but no more. I would also have mentioned the Laguna, but you would have remembered all of the breakdowns on route.

As for mass-market large cars, they are still with us. Mondeos and Insignias are larger than the Granada and Omega that allegedly haven't been replaced. They cost about the same in real terms too.

The premium manufacturers(a ghastly phrase) have done such a good job on their mid-to-large cars that the full-sized efforts are largely superfluous; a 7series compares badly to a 5, in the same way an A8 does to an A6, which is why you hardly ever see the bigger cars.

Not saying the above were any good, just that there was a larger choice

Another reason why large saloon cars are less common is the increase in cars like the Galaxy, Zafira and Espace, plus the larger 4x4ish things. These better fulfill the needs that caused family buyers to settle on a Scorpio/similar when they were all that was available.

[Diamond Black Geezer]

Indeed, the saloon in general as a bodystyle has been dwindling in sales overall for donkeys years now.

Just been reading on Bloomberg that ford are going to introduce about six new SUV's into Europe over the next few years........it's the future.

[Lazydocker]

I quite like the Infiniti brand, although it is only a posh Nissan.

Drove a customer's FX a few years back... The oil burner pulls well and for a 4x4 type thing is felt well planted on the road. Mind you, it had only done a few thousand miles

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

That could be just about anything with a big arse.

Ford.....Renault ....Pug.... the list is endless.
