  1. Plz don't get mud on my prada, gucci, D&G k thx. I don't think i've ever played that game, it rings a bell though so perhaps I have.
  2. Exterior design aside, I'm interested to see what this Bentayga brings to the table that a top spec Range Autobiography/Cayenne doesn't, if you actually feel like you're in a higher luxury marque than its current rivals (It'll probably be the first of this supercar level of SUV released won't it?) then I do understand why they're bothering. A really luxury interior, and the engine from the GT V8 S? I think I could forgive it for looking ugly, just like people have been forgiving the Cayenne for over a decade.
  3. Button broke down in FP2, the car is still broke so no Qualifying for Button in Canada. #progress #mclarenprogress #hondapowerftw #rondennisisbae Sigh. Can't wait to hear through various media outlets how Button and Alonso are still talking about progress. I'm more than willing to be proven wrong and i want them to do well but ffs stop talking about progress until you get the friggin results. The amount of bs PR that's come out of Mclaren Honda this season is infuriating.
  4. I think a bit of it comes down to what I'm like with iPhones, if I had a late 2014 Continental GT it'd now be on sale and an order would be in for that one :p I'd imagine a fair bit of their customer base is as ridiculous as me.
  5. You can't really argue with why they haven't replaced it 100% yet though, their sales figures are still impressive so for a small company like Bentley fair play. If it means they're spending all their time focusing on a production version of this then it's more than okay :D
  6. :( The latest Continentals, especially the V8 S', before this new 2015 minor facelift looked great and were fantastic cars. WHAT HAVE THEY DONE?!?! 50% Too much grillage down there. And the infotainment screen and dials are simply too similar/identical to that you can get in a VW Golf, literally the biggest ARGHSDHSJAD VW GROUP moment i've seen: This car costs £150k, that central dash section simply isn't suffice. WTH.
  7. I hope the gaming industry isn't following the movie industry too much, the list of big games at the moment is simply reboots of old franchises or sequels to current big titles. I'm aware that most of the new titles won't be discussed/released until E3 but I feel we haven't had anything too industry-changing in the way of new titles in quite a while. If each company spends too much time focusing on their next installment of whatever big series of games they've got and less time discussing brand new games which they envisage having sequels etc. I haven't had/got much time to game as of recently, however if GTA VI came out I'd simply make time to play it etc, I haven't seen a new title get rave reviews or interest me in the same way in quite a while now.
  8. Not sure I like the central airvent placement/shape/design, just seems too similar to what used to be there the Satnav etc. That and the design itself doesn't look too special, quite cheap really.
  9. With that kinda crappy thing you have to try and find the silver lining in that everyone in the impact is okay etc :/ Are you going to claim the insurance thingy? On a lot of cars it might not be worthwhile financially but on a beemer i imagine it probably is?
  10. You should probably see a doctor about that. Ooh I like that. It seems less of a 'toy' BMW and less of a shrunken version of a car you really want but cannot afford. A model in it's own right.
  11. I've got a vision of you being kicked from a session everytime you're in a 918 or P1 and try and join a session with a LaFerrari in, with the speakers making some kind of Italian 'tutting, nice try!' sound.
  12. The new Jeep Renegade drove by earlier, it wasn't a huge spec chromed out/huge alloyed version, it seemed like an average specced Renegade and I have to say I rather liked it. Seems quite similar to the Dacia Duster in that it uses ruggedness (no matter how artificial any ruggedness might be with the Renegade) to overcome the stigma over the sector of cars it's up against. I quite like it. What do y'all think?
  13. It's nice, but I'll need to see it in the sheetmetal to see just how different it is to what it basically is:
  14. I wasn't criticising the car as being a decent Fleet car choice, I was saying it needs to try and be an attractive choice outside of that Market too, which I feel this might be - the issue is Peugeot are attempting to do the exact same thing with the 308, move it 10% more upmarket to try and move into a less crowded price point, if more people follow suit then A) They'll have achieved nothing by doing this, and B) the company that doesn't follow them will have the original market to themselves. The Vauxhall brand took a battering in the 00's I feel (Every Corsa D EVER built should be crushed). I think they should work on getting the SRI/GSI/GTE badge to mean something like It used to, not just a trim level that means better rims and aircon etc. The previous Astra VXR/OPC had bonkers performance compared to the standard Astras, there is/was space to offer something decent in this gap, something people will want to trade their 2.0 TDI low specced VW Golf for, for example. I'm probably just talking crurp here. The previous 3 door Astra was more than just a 3 door Astra, they added sportier suspension too, this is a step in the right direction I think.
  15. Mentioning the 3er in the same sentence as the Astra, even if it's 'The 3er is 100000000 x better than the Astra' is still a huge improvement over previous generations of the thing. Progress needs to be made though, GM needs to make Opel/Vauxhall's Vehicles fun to drive, and give them that lalalala 'VXR/OPC' car treatment on most Models. I'm sure this is a very decent car but it simply isn't desirable, it'll make a great rental car or company car/sales fleet car but that's pretty much it, I wouldn't rush out to buy one. That said, the previous gen 3-door was starting to look quite stylish, have pics of the new 3-door been released yet? None were on Autocar. I feel like Vauxhall and Opel are rather ignored by GM, they put minimum effort into it as a company for some reason. On another note, I stopped checking Autocar a few months ago now, it seems to have lost its journalistic integrity (and its best journalist) due to how much bias (read: how much £££ it gets from) it gives towards JLR etc. I hope it turns around as it's always been a big brand in the UK for motoring magazines, but for the moment I simply can't be arsed with them.
  16. Screw the Mercedes and other things, I WANT TO SEE THE BADGER!!! :bow: Don't think i'll ever have to say that again
  17. If you're not ready to release the mod download link just yet then post the preview video in WIP :)
  18. I really haven't warmed to the new Maserati Design Language. Statham's Ghibli S in the new Furious 7 film looks stunning though. At least it isn't a porsche Andai, they'd charge you for the car to not come with duct tape.
  19. 2 things.... The Lamborghini Urus (Not a fan of the name, it sounds like some kind of sexually transmitted disease). Image from Jalopnik - Drive Free or Die Appears to have gotten the green light thanks to the Italian government giving Lambo a tax break. What do people think? Are lambo needing the Finance à la Porsche Cayenne being the saviour of Porsche, or is this simple Niche filling. Yah we're all aware of the LM002 and the tractors, but we all know they'll be driven around Knightsbridge with god-awful hamann bodykits and gold/chrome wraps. The Alfa Romeo Giulia Jalopnik got it's hands on some new artist impressions of the upcoming Alfa Giulia, which is meant to be unveiled next month at the Milan motor show. Very important car, the 4C did a large part in making sure people still cared about Alfa as a company, but this will be the biggest test. I think that's why it's taken SO long to come out too, I feel like I was a fetus last time I heard much news on the Giulia.
  20. Hi Dext :) Bienvenue à TDUCK!
  21. I don't necessarily see the need to have this, I just turn down the brightness on my phone/laptop in this kinda situation.
  22. Always loved them, very nicely designed cars! Not sure on those rims, but I always love my OEM rims.
