The Omega Replacement conundrum, Part 2

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

TB.....as mentioned earlier perhaps you should consider an Infiniti.....specifically a G37.

Good points.

RWD.

Good seats.

3.7 V6 with 330 BHP.....sanme engine as used in the Datsun 370Z.

All the toys and then some.

Reliaible.

G37S is even better.

Rare.

£12000(ish) for a 2012/13 model.

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

....Shami would be moist with delight.

[tunnie]

You should well know he is far too fussy on his RWD choice, nothing in the market can match car two decades old with non matching doors.

It ticks all the boxes, although maybe difficult to find exactly what you want it has the advantage of not seeing one on every street corner like Audi and BMW

Yep...they are pretty rare.

I came very close to buying one.

Lovely leather. Seven speed auto. I believe that some of them are 4 WS. The 'S' version I nearly bought came with classy aluminium paddles.

I want to say it was already suggested and rejected on the grounds of being Japanese, or French, or dull, or uncomfortable, or.. something.

...rejected for being just about anything in fact.

He'll probably end up with a Passat. I think the Passat is a very stylish car. Although obviously when running on fuel that hasn't come out of a Scania.

Steering wheel, I don't think he liked the steering wheel or dash

Shhhhh. 

Besides, no one has yet twigged why all the Sky install vans suddenly have less diesel.   

Got 670odd miles to fuel warning light on my second tank, so very happy with that

Well .....I managed a magnificent 23 point something MPG on a leisurely 1200 RPM 8th gear cruise.

About as good as it gets, I'm afraid.

[tunnie]

Very nice, but when you do over 1,000 miles a month, plus have a house to run and a wife and a daughter it makes 23mpg not very acceptable.

That said that's damn good considering the power output, my crappy 3.2 can barely do 27mpg

Is yours the 5.0? I thought they were better than that? I know the 4.2's (which have been in service since Pontius was a pilot) are pretty woeful on fuel.

It's the only reason I didn't buy an S-Type R a few years ago.

[TheBoy]

It would be a much shorter conversation if we had a list of what is "in" rather than the list of what is "out". 

Of all the hundreds of marques available, I've only said half a dozen are definite no-nos

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

And theres only half a dozen or so who still produce RWD cars.

It was the dash.  It really was a minger inside.  The thought of looking at it for 3 - 4hrs a day was a bit grim.  I needed something to cheer my dull commute up, not depress me further!
