2 days with the New Ghibli

[BennyD]

Hi fella. Good to see you raise your ugly head on here! Are you playing out on Monday?

BMW F10 M5 actually pipes an engine note into the cabin to add more sense of occasion. I don't need that in mine as the V10 sounds epic without any need for a faux engine burble. It's a con and would really annoy me so it would be turned off for sure. The problem is we are losing big engines for smaller engines with TT's and it is killing that sense for me. The beauty of supercars is the v8,V10 or V12 engine notes not some stifled or man made engine note.

I read somewhere that for another 2k they fit four pegs holding cardboard in the wheel spokes.....worked for me.....when I was 6

Lol, didn't we all. There was nothing more powerful than a Raleigh chopper or striker with a piece of cardboard placed strategically in between the spokes!

It did sound good on Sunday, like you said Benny 'bit like an old hemi v8 but slighty more subtle'

Great daily hack material, interior is lovely a nice place to be on the way to work

Sure they will sell full allocation at every UK dealership.

Was it right i heard Bowker Lancs only have 40 Ghiblis per year ?? surely that cant be right ??

Mike, dont know where you heard that but its incorrect, will easily deliver more than that this year.......

I still have not seen one on the road, neither a new QP either.

Is the new QP selling much in the UK, Gary, especially as the diesel is now an option or is the focus really on diesel Ghibli?

Great weather for selling cars over Easter.

I did see a Ghibli, looked alright, then a mile later I thought I was catching up to it, it was a mazda 6.........

Well guys I have been lucky enough to have the new Ghibli for the last two days and all I can say is wow.

I know I am going to be biased but it has proved to be far better than I anticipated.

The diesel is not the fastest out there but it does sound sweet! Like an old burbling V8 Hemi!!

I was at your dealership yesterday, should have took the test drive in one of your diesel if I knew it sound like a V8.
