No sooner had the ink dried on my S65 and S63 AMG Coupé reviews and someone pitched up at my house with this S500 Coupé. Now; I’m not the sportiest person on the planet but I believe that getting three in a row – especially the only three models available – is called a hat trick or something.
Dit was die legendariese Peugeot 203 wat in die vyftigerjare aan hierdie vervaardiger ‘n reputasie as ‘n kanniedood en geharde voertuig vir Afrika-omstandighede gevestig het. Hierdie reputasie was hoofsaaklik te danke aan twee Franse, monsieurs Mercier en Se Cortanze, wat in 1951 met ‘n 203 stasiewa ‘n nuwe rekord geslaan het deur die afstand van Kaapstad na Parys in 17 dae en 9 uur af te lê.
‘n Huis se prys. Not only did my most recent test car grab the crown for the priciest car I’ve ever driven, it also sparked furious debates about the unsavory question of price and value. Three million bucks is what the brand-new S65 AMG Coupé will cost you, without options of course.
You’re in luck. As a connoisseur of grand tourers and a previous owner of this car’s predecessor, you find me properly qualified to review the Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupé. The one which arrived for testing was a Fire Opal Red E250 CDI with lots of AMG trinkets and other optional extras.
BMW recently announced two new ranges, the 2-Series and 4-Series. These follow in the footsteps of other even-numbered models to designate coupé and cabriolet vehicles. With the bizarre exception of gran coupés, this makes a lot of sense and we keenly welcomed a 420i to our test fleet.
Please excuse my lacklustre typing and slouched posture, I’ve just sold one of my cars. There was no pressing need to do this other than the fact that I simply didn’t have the time to play with my oversized toy. I love cars that double as toys, which is probably why I took a shine to Honda’s revamped CR-Z.
