Every car in that hall is a Mazda.

A few from this week:
A nicely spec'd F80 Comp
GT3 RS. Not sure it works in all black.
Big Lambo
Little Lambo.

Damn right! Its the only thing there that does anything for me.
The Porsche is cool though!
The Urus really is a car that screams "You don't want to speak to this person" isn't it. What a horrendous vulgar lump.

Is that your opinion for all the others in same palate like DBX, Bentayga, Purosangue, etc?

Yea but especially the Urus.
Honestly I got more excited when I saw a mint Audi 90 than a Lambo or GT3 RS last week
I was impressed by a clean Mazda 626 Coupe in that Mazda museum I posted earlier. Supercars are ten a penny these days. Mint **** boxes from my childhood are not.. Maybe it's just me?

Yea says a lot about the state of modern supercars, especially the awful looking SUVs they put. Not a whole lot of interest in them beyond some kids.
One of my neighbours had a mint mk1 Suzuki Swift. That got more looks than Porsches etc. because it has a classic 80s shape and is probably the only one in town. If he was selling it probably would have made an offer.
But also my own attitude has changed to why the **** am I spending so much on cars, when there are cheap ones which are just as entertaining. I can invest the money and buy another house instead.

No, not just you. I'm completely desensitized to modern supercars now, unless it's something like a Pagani or Koenigsegg, I'm not interested.
Just yesterday on my commute I rode past a Ferrari 456GT. From back in the days when owning a Ferrari meant something. Nowadays anyone with a grand disposable a month can drive around in a Ferrari / Lambo.
I think another large contributing factor is how many cars get pumped out every year. Remember when a new Lambo was an event, it was all over the magazines for months. Nowadays a new Lambo comes out and it's an article on Top Gear for a few days and then they move on to the next thing.

DBX at least has some class. Bentayga tells the world that you don't care what anyone thinks of you, you're sitting in quite possibly the comfiest, most luxurious SUV on the market and screw what anyone else thinks. The Purosangue is a proper ground-up built car with a stonking naturally aspirated V12.
The Urus does absolutely nothing that an RS Q8 doesn't do, for a hundred grand extra. It's the literal definition of "I'm a poser pls look at me, my lease is double yours because badge".

Harry Enfield would drive a Urus.
The driver casually leans over and says "More than you can afford pal, MR2" *sound of 4-pot revving*I really don't understand why people do this - what happens when people want to 'race' him. Does he stick it in reverse
Funny thing is, I've see loads of Urus's (Ureses? Uruai?) around, so they don't even seem that exotic.
Here in South Kensington they're like Mondeos, I must see a dozen a week easily. I'll say one thing for sure though, they've certainly taken a ton of sales away from the G Wagen.
Same with the Aston (looks like a fat fiesta) and Lotus SUVs. Quite generic looking compared to how their coupes/roadsters cars are.
