I know their new cars are good but wheres the excitment? In the 90's they seemed determined to get away from the the boring image, but over the last few years they've just not bothered. Suppose it doesn't help, being owned by another company.

Not powerful enough to compete with M3's, Merc's (shut it Jerry lol), yet leagues around of Mondeo's, Vauxhalls etc so never really fell into a class
