This is a lot of car for the money although probably still has some depreciating to do...

Reservations over nose-heaviness apart, I tend to agree about the 12.

If you're gonna take advantage of the depreciation on a stupid car, might as well go for the daftest version!

Is there a version called the Skoda Dogzcs Bolloczs by any chance? As if "Superb" isn't hyperbole enough

They don't actually sell them here yet, do they?
New dealership opened in Reading now. Saw the saloon G37 with trade plates driving round the estate too. Maybe Acura will be in the uk soon.

on the phaeton the marketing budget ended up being equal to the sales revenue of that line.

deliberate and failed attempt by vee dub to move up market. they just need more soft touch plastics in their golfs to convinced the brand monkeys ffs

i like sleepers and the phaeton ticks that box emphatically

And why are people mentioning Citroen in a luxury car thread???

French and shite are the two words that best describe all Citroens and most Peugeots come to think of it...
Meanwhile Frenchies do have a thriving car biss...

There are quite a few promised on their website in the future, but the last time I looked it was "tomorrow"

I love the idea of Acurists being sold here! What's that wrecker with the broken-tooth grille in "Cars" called again? I think even Honda's realised it'd be so totally
