do you have a reference for the 2 seat thing?
The two rows of seats applies to pickups, not cars.

Personally I think anything that makes London less attractive is good for the rest of us. A bit more of this sort of thing, and maybe city businesses will look to move out of the city amd bring their high paying jobs with them. There won't be a need for congestion charge, as nobody will want to go there.

Then we can build a wall around the city and use it to put criminals in, Escape From New York style, thus solving the prisons crisis.

Who's with me?

I just struggle with the lazy styling, lack of imagination when it comes to naming their cars, and the fact they appear to be slowly taking over the World

I think it's a case of I just don't "get" the 911.

Interesting point there Dembo. We need to start moving businesses out of London to help address the North/South divide. Also I'm loving the Escape From New York idea

Ken Wont ringfence the cash raised from this for improvements to the tube. Like all politicians he can use it for whatever he sees fit. So Porsche drivers could end up sponsoring the 2012 games!

It already is ringfenced for Public transport, although this usually means more money for Bob Crow's mates.

I'm all for getting rid of the immigrants in London. Start with Nos.10 and 11 Downing Street.
