Blind spots look horrendous and too big, but it otherwise looks very promising indeed.

V6 sounded better than the V8 to me. Probably a sight cheaper too so it would get my vote.

I take there's no news on prices yet ...

it's a cracking car, but a little miffed as to how it starts at £58k (read 65-70 with any must have extras) when the XK is not a million miles from there? It should have started at 40k, put the cat amongst the pigeons with the Cayman and the likes and it's model ranges could have spanned the cayman / 911 (all but the extreme GT3's etc) offering from Porsche. It's a cracking looking machine but I think they have pitched it too high in the market.

It'll sell by the bucket load I am sure, but is not really the 'peoples' car that I hoped it might have been. Maybe in 3 years when prices have tumbled a little.

A lot of people are saying that Phil.

I think Boxsters start at 38k, the S at 48k and 911s at 70 ish

I'm not sure it's 10k more car than a Cayman S for example
