Big, Heavy, Ugly. Doesn't get my vote. You'd be better off with an Alpina or AMG for that money.

I just personally think that big cars like that suit big wheels, 19's on that would look sweet, would fill the arches nicely.

think vauxhall should come up with a lotus omega(new age) just to finish the last of the omega's. I know they dont produce them any more but if they did I think it would be a beast...The Lotus Carlton will still kill the HSV. 0-60 5.1 and max speed 175+mph.

That cash is too many other cars. It is a monster though, and probably very effortless and smooth to drive. Lovely.
