Why not the macan turbo if you want a Porsche.
The panamera for me is irony personified. Falls short of every aim.
the macan Turbo and the forthcoming Alfa stelvio seem to be practical sports cars

Seems peculiar we hear oil reserves running out and damage to the planet and taxes and bans on using certain vehicles coming in next few years and yet car makers launching or planning to launch these supercars.
Reminds me of Jeremy Clarkson closing one series of TG a few years ago driving (I think) an Aston at the crack of dawn saying in the near future these cars wouldn't exist or words to that effect.

Well it's good news as far as I'm concerned....say what they like as long as they still make them.

Interesting to hear that Jag are making a V8 XE, that would have been right at the top of my list too! I've driven the V6 XE S a while ago but it wasn't in the same league.
That Clarkson clip is always very emotive, I've wanted a V12V ever since

Would you really swap the GTS for it Phil?

Probably mate, it's newer and different for me and I do like a fast saloon car. Will revisit a GT again but in the form of a Strad I reckon.

Most lease companies get discounts of between 40-50% on bulk orders for new cars from manufacturer's I understand. That is why there are so many cracking deals and so many lease companies.

Doubt the guilia Qv will be available at a good lease deal?

I understand that thought process...
My worry would be shelling out a bit more money...more depreciation and then feeling its a step down.
I think it will be more fun to drive maybe... but not sound as good or get as many looks..

Yes the S wouldn't bother the Guilia....different league......The SVR is probably pitched right at it. Going on how my lowly diesel XE drives it could be a ******* as even mine feels very sporty indeed.

Very different cars .... grand tourer against full on sports saloon. The Guilia would probably be more fun on your fav twisty road but the GT must be a more comfortable ride and easier to live with for that European jaunt.
