It's not on YouTube. I believe the show that showed it was GRIP - DAS MOTORMAGAZIN. RTL2 - Die Sendung ^That's the channel which hosts the show, but I couldn't find it.^ In a few months it might be on YT.

| The Tata Nano- It's an amazing car for its price, but it could have been better if it atleast came with the obligatory hand brake and spare wheel.

| I thought that Imhotep Evil would have a field day with this thread. He'd say some thing along the lines of: The Porsche 911 is good but it'd be great if the engine wasn't in the back, had active downforce aerodynamics and looked like a Formula 1 car. Here's my latest one: The BMW 135i is good but it'd be great if it had a proper slippy diff at the back  ...that and a tii badge denoting an extra few horses and newtons allied to lighter bodywork and a sportier interior. The poor BMW lot, us fans are always giving them a hard time about the lack of specialised performance models in certain ranges but it's still true: give the 135i a limited slip mechanical differential and aforementioned enhancements and you've got a world-beating latter day 2002 Ti without the scaries.

| ... and another: The MINI Cooper S is already great, if only it didn't have a Looney Tunes cockpit  Those who know and love the MINI for the pint-sized, best-bang-for-buck thrills it delivers will overlook its "charmingly quaint" interior. For people like me, I just can't live with the prospect of my daughter asking "Why does Daddy drive a girl's car?" every time I pop her in the backseat for the school run. The MINI's overwrought circular themed dashboard is like viewing an antique crockery and silverware exhibition. Not quite my, ahem, cup of tea...

| S85 is great, but would be fantastic if it found a proper sports car to propel.  |

| The SLR is good but it would be great if it had a old school manual gearbox, and better steering and brake feel. |

| Mustang: Good car, but I wish it had Independent Suspension.  I know that the "Mustang" crowd loves their Live Rear Axle, and Ford keeps on giving it to them, but in all honesty if Ford doesn't at least make the effort to make an IRL then how will we know how good that car can really be? It's time to let go of the old mentality and bring the car to the new century. The "Mustang" crowd will still buy it, after all they bought the atrocities of the 80s and 90s.

| No, that's not the issue at hand. This is: The BMW X6M: If only it didn't have that M badge.
