    Not sure, Renault brought one in from the UK as far as I know to test the water via media.

    I know of one in the West of the country, not sure if it's been registered here yet or not.

    This drove passed me yesterday in Lucan. Someone from the garage enjoying it for the weekend I'd assume! Great sound off of it.

    a brace of M goodness in Greystones recently.
    I used to think the E60 M5 was more aggressive looking than its predecessor (I wouldn't be a big fan of the E60 design over the E39) but it now looks rather tame, which is a good thing in my eyes, much prefer the sleeper/Q car look for the performance versions from the German manufacturers.

    All of these jelly mould car designs remind me of the first Modeos.

    The grill on that BMW is an absolute shocker, looks more ridiculous with the positioning of the reg plate. They could at least try offset it like Alfa did.

    It's all subjective but I think it looks terrible both the car and the colour, whether on that particular car or otherwise. Screams look at me, I really want to be noticed also. Design of the car looks toyish in my eyes while the headlights seem to look somewhat bland.

    wouldn't be my first choice of color but it works on the car.

    I've seen that, or one very similar around my neck of the woods several times in the last few weeks. I doubt there are too many if them about.

    a tale of two Mercs -
    this has me perplexed (the S-class) - while I 'get' young lads doing a bit of 'badge engineering' on say a Civic to make it look like a Type R or that kinda thing, and whatever your thoughts on German plates, the C63 is legit.
    (Putting side grilles, quad exhausts etc on a 320/520D for the M3/M5 rep is pushing it imho)

    However, I passed a local car park and saw what I originally thought at first glance was a Maybach (there is/was one that lived local-ish in north Wicklow but I think the owner has moved it on) so I doubled back to have a closer look. It ain't, despite the Maybach bonnet badge replacing the MB star, and other badges.
    It's a very fine luxobarge in its own right - an S500e - is this upping the game somewhat :confused:

    A real Maybach has the rear quarter window built into the rear pillar, not the door. Think that one is a 500 hybrid with some Maybach badges and wheels.

    Better than an S63 replica all the same!

    Its bad enough that BMW have to ape Audi in their designs - they'd be rightly burned at the stake if they copied Alfa.

    you're spot on there, not a maybach and is a 500 hybrid

    He has the maybach front grille too, I'd imagine it cost him a small fortune to get it that way but honestly cannot fathom why anyone would do it

    Maybach is to Mercedes as Vignale is to Ford - a spec level.

    But MetzgerMeister I think your wrong on the MB badge.

    It's the Chinese market you have to thank for that!

    The Chinese love their big chrome grilles on their long wheel base cars.

    Why does the alfa have a blank spot in it's front grill. Considering how much it costs it seems strange unless there is a purpose of it which I am inclined to think so but for the life of me I have no clue why.

    I used to see that Alfa most mornings, the previous owner is now in a white 2020 BMW 7 Series 745e M Sport

    Here's my post from 25th Sep 2019 posted on "Here's what I saw today, mark 3 (don't quote pictures, 24h ban!)", the sound of the Alfa is beautiful too . :D

    It's part of the ISC (Intelligent Speed Control ) system - there is a camera on widescreen to read speed limits - the panel you refer to is a radar for adaptive cruise control. It all kinda works together to keep you on the straight and narrow :)

    I'd probably give the nod to the 430. It's modern without being cartoonist like some of the the newer models.
