my dad's changing his car soon, possibly due to a mid-life crisis

and wants something sporty and "flash"

The brochure for this arrived today:

Budgets £20 000 and insurance isn't really an issue, he looked at an Evo 6 but then his pal bought one so thats out of the question now too

I thought about a P1

So what would you recomend? pics would be good too

Focus is meant to be a lot better than the VXR and he wants the focus in orange, even though it's a £700 optional extra
