You're kidding right?! The Veyron and almost every Lambo ever made has been a style icon. Each to their own, but kind of explains why you like the design of the new Z4 so much... :poke:

Do you think? I can see a lot of current e89 owners chopping in for the new model. It looks like more of the same to me.

It doesn’t look like many on here will be rushing to the dealership either way :lol:

Some E89 owners may well buy the G29. But even when the E89 was such a superior car to the E85/E86 in every way I doubt many on this forum changed. They appear to be joined at the hip to their older cars. :roll:

The Zed’s front is a mess admittedly but the rest is ok enough to buy one IF it drives as well as I think it will. We shall see. :thumbsup:

Mmm, is that a Diablo in the background? Along with the Countach they are the only ones I like, and that is taking into account the time they existed in...
