Lol - way too blingy (and butch). Del would absolutely hate that!
TBH, the more I discover what that car is all about/stands for, the more I'm disliking it
We don't 'do' rather vulgar status symbols.

If I had cutter to burn it would be on my shortlist. Yes it's beyond ridiculous but I like that. Like that gold DAC.
Ideal for a party of women going on shopping expeditions and that sort of thing. Loads of space and safe too, you could smash into small cars and not even notice it.

The 'Esplanade' was a poor selling UK derivative only available in towns that had a pier & funfair

I wouldn't touch an American motor. The oily bits can be reasonable, but the rest is just slung together and cheap.
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
