Certainly is the BOLLOCKS!

I assume the M6 will have the same engine etc.? That will be fairly nice too!

Very nice but over priced

For comparison purposes I've been looking at prices of used Jaguar XFR's. Under £37000 gets you into a FULLY loaded under 10000 miles vehicle that was registered in 2010. They look mint IMO.

So basically half the price of a new M5. I think I'd prefer the savings !

0-100MPH in 8.7secs he thinks.

That's seriously quick for that monster of a car.

Agreed.....read my review as I just got one two days ago. The Jag's a very good car but a new one will struggle against the M5 I'm sure. Having said that, is the M5 over £15k better (spec for spec) than the XFR...probably not, but then would I prefer the M5? Probably so!

However, until the M5 has lost a good £20-30k (18 months?), I'll make do with my XFR (£39k, one year old, 7k miles) and whatever else comes up in the meantime.

But one day....M5 (or even better, M6) will be my chariot of choice!
