1.4 G!!!!
Oh boy, I would like to experience that! However I have to agree with the MT guys, Tesla needs to improve the interiors, Audi interiors are top of the game. I have driven a P90 and whilst the interior is very nice it needs that little extra something since it is a £50k+ car. Also I know its not going to happen, but buttons and small displays under the steering wheel are superior to a big tablet. When is Tesla going to let go of its gimmick?

Yesterday evening I was looking at (while passing with some friends) a BMW coupe-style machine on a garage forecourt near my house. Couldn't quite work out what it was, looked about 5-series size. Turned out to be a 6-series but a 4-door with a sloping back but only a boot not a hatchback, so a saloon. Called a Gran Coupe apparently! The badge said 640d which I gather is actually a 3-litre diesel. Really struggling to see what market segment that is aimed at.

Had a good look at them before settling on the Mercedes recently, beautiful interior, beautiful car, can be had with a choice of 3 different petrol engines as well as the diesel.

 I think I'm prejudiced by my youthful memories of the old 6-series (and the CS before that) so the existence of the new 4-door version had completely passed me by.  (I also confess to not really being a great fan of modern BMWs)
