CGT is great in a straight line but is a pig round corners. Not that much fun to drive, but OK for cruising.

Word is that the 2012 models will have a 400hp Twin-turbo V8 (487 lb./ft. torque) and a 4-cylinder deactivation mode. Fuel economy is expected to improve by 40% with the new engine. Even Bentley responds to market and government pressure.

It will 500BHP mate, still enough grunt to get 2.4 tonnes going though.
I like the looks it's the price I don't like.

Ah yes, "only" 500hp. I mis-typed - should have included the Wall Street Journal link.

Almost as much as the new Chevy Camaro at 550 hp and $47K. Like the price, but not the looks. You can't win.
