Saw a Coupe the other day and today just seen a convertible. Saw both of them driving through town at low speeds and I thought they sounded a bit pants The engine note wasn't very nice at all. Just setting off from traffic lights and up to a speed of about 20 mph. Sounded rough or like there was a hole in the exhaust but both of them sounded the same
Maybe they sound nicer going faster

Looks spot on IMO. They sound the bollocks too Edit to say I would buy a black one with some tints and very sexy 20'' rims. Upmarket gangster

I think I like the looks. Just wasn't impressed with the noise at low RPM. Most big engined cars sound just as good on tickover as they do when they are being thrashed but these sounded really odd.

ala E46 M3 etc. Lot of new cars sound rough at low rpm.

like ferraris, was behind one in maccies drive thru it sounded like it was blowing, pretty much like a lawn mower, no doubt they sound good on full chat, tick over sound awful though, its not even a lumpy sound just a high buzzing noise, crap
