They certainly look nice now and are probably nice to drive but it wasn't always so. I test drove a 1990 Virage 5.3 V8 Coupe in 1999 before I bought my first NSX. It was massively disappointing. Gearbox sounded as if it had been lifted from a tractor - salesman "all Astons are like that, sir" - and it was not that quick despite having a high rear axle ratio which meant that it was doing only just over 20mph per 1,000 revs in top.
Ford appear to have brought a bit of quality control in.

Neil it's the base of the Clifford Chance building at Upper Bank street.
I've just been downstairs again and chatting to the people with it, they were so down to earth and I really respect them for that. Eventhough they had a job to do they were prepared to take time out to discuss the merits of the car. Apparently the waiting list means a lead time of 2008 if you order now, assuming you don't buy someone else's place in the queue.

Was outside Clifford Chance (where I am), it's gone now. How many of you chaps are around here? 
Small world.
We could have a S2k CC meet, even set up some little race's against those in other firms around the docklands.
Step Forward Neil, sure you could get people from Citigroup
