New Focus RS due in 2016.

Looks good. Hope it is AWD otherwise the torque steer will probably be heinous.

Speaking of AWD hotness, I took a ride in a friend's new AMG E63 Station Wagon (the turbo 5.5, not the NA 6.2).

Have to say I was as impressed as Jezza was when he pitted it against the M5 Estate and a fair bit more practical than pretty much everything in Michele's garage...

Eh, most of the front-drive Euro hot-hatches do a pretty good job of taming the torque steer these days, even with ludicrous amounts of power going through the front wheels.

I know the local hot-ford group has been pretty excited about this one (don't ask me how I'm part of that, I've not worked out out either), and rightly so too.

Wow... all these elegant and expensive dream cars... while Rolito is perfectly happy with a Toyota RAV4 CUV that dates back to the Nineties (his only requirement? It should be electric blue) and Masakari will never swap out her battered hand-me-down Vespa scooter for anything newer or fancier. Maybe I (and by extension my OCs) are old-fashioned.

At least the RAV4 has an EV version that runs on electricity. Only 328 ever sold in 2002. Rolito was probably one of those three-hundred-plus buyers, and he would have snapped up at least two. He'd lovingly upgrade his car/s over the years with the latest tech, even Black Tech. Because one can be a terrorist AND an eco-friendly person WITHOUT being an eco-terrorist.

I do love a Range Rover, but I just can't get my head around it with big rims and a petrol engine. sweat

That said, the inside looks nicer than, well, than my apartment, easily. Most places of residence I've been to actually...

Either that or become one (since she plays football).

I just saw this article and imagined Kara seeing this on the highway while in the passenger seat and proceeding to fog up the glass.

Good thing Michele's got deep pockets...

@CI... might want to check those links mate, they both point to the model range page.

That said, I am rather fond of BMW's bike range. Quite by accident, two of the major non-SWA players in my current story both wound up on boxer-twin powered tourers (well, adventure tourer in one case).

Well, the Chiron's out now. Has Michele been shopping yet?

Electronically limited to 260 MPH? At what point do the wings pop out of the sides, I wonder.

Top Gear had it on yesterday's episode in the UK, though we have to wait a week for the episode to appear in the US so I'm interested to see what they think.
