And that’s not a bad thing if your other point of buying such a coupe is to show up at some open carpark with like-minded bros on a Friday evening, driving the similar model as yours.

The Audi RS6 4.0 Avant Tiptronic Quattro 5dr is the sportiest in its range and has been packed with £11,330 (SGD$20,655) of hand-picked extras such as a panoramic sunroof and, understandably, privacy glass. Heated front and rear seats allows royals riding in the back to enjoy the same comforts as those who’ve called ‘shotgun’, and the sports exhaust offers a fitting audio track for those who mistake the car’s high-performance hidden under its subtle exterior.

Buying a SEAT is somewhat like choosing two burgers over a value meal. You get all the good stuff — the engine, gearbox and chassis — but sacrifice some of the niceties like a sunroof, or a brand-name sound system. In the end, however, you still walk away feeling satisfied and rather pleased with yourself.

This German-Spanish mash up proves that basic isn’t always bad


Ok, so you’ve heard countless times how the Germans are the obvious choices. But have you looked around you? My word, the 3 Series, C-Class, A4 and XE are everywhere, to the point they’ve become - sorry to say this BMW, Audi, Mercedes-Benz and Jaguar - mass-market. There’s that undeniable brand appeal, true, but imagine driving to your college reunion and seeing Mark the rugby player, Jonathan the science geek, Eugene the bully and even Sam the teacher’s pet all turning up in the same executive sedan as you. You guys might reconnect and after this become closest buddies e-v-e-r, but in a nutshell, your uniqueness is no longer with you. Heck, back then you were the coolest dude simply because you could sing and play the guitar.

So to celebrate this convergence, Nissan and Italdesign created this custom GT-R to mark 50 years of engineering leadership.”

The exterior design shows BMW’s new styling language focusing on clarity, modernity and emotional engagement; a clear link to the BMW Concept 8 Series first unveiled at the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este in 2017. With exterior dimensions of 4,843 mm in length, 1,902 mm in width, 1,341 mm in height and a wheelbase of 2,822 mm, the two-door coupé definitely has presence on the roads. Additionally, the side view is dominated by dramatic surfaces: Whilst they curve inwards on the far side of the front wheels, they bulge outwards again in a real display of power above the rear wheels. The glass area tapers at the rear, accentuating the muscular shoulderline, while the side window graphic ends in a very tightly-angled version of the famous Hofmeister kink.

Instead what it really is, is the sort of car that you want to go cruising around in, comfortably, with some company in tow. If you want something that offers a little sportiness, you’d have to look at Porsche’s 911; but at the cost of having only yourself and a travel partner. To carry extra human passengers at the back would be near impossible, even for short distances; they have to be legless. Or dwarfs. Not from this planet, in a nutshell.
