Leather and woold as eco-credentials? Perhaps they could use a mink coat lining instead. You have to be joking right? I rather suspect that, in terms of the Earth's resources being used that textiles based on plant material (or even, dare I say oil) will beat the hell out of using animal byproducts.

Yeah but the animal skin and wool would be there anyway seeing as the leather would have contained someone's dinner at some point and the sheep would be sheared regardless.

James Bond could drive his car from his mobile *years* ago. Haven't they got any new ideas?

So then it's a straight race to see which battery runs out first, the car or the iPhone. It's Swiss, so I wonder what happens to that distance if you've driven it over Sustenpass ?

Environmental-friendliness has nothing to do with animal rights, although the mindless extremists of both cults tend to be unable to grasp this simple truth.

Can't use plastic as its not environmentally friendly and requires the oil which is running out.

Can't use animal products as the veggies will complain.

What are we supposed to use on the inside? Plant seed and grow grass on the seats?

Sister company of Spincycle??

How much for the Inspector?

Please disable the iPhone's sleep function

.. you can only run one thing at a time on the phone, and it will always kick out the application if you recieve a call, so the "important functions of the car" will stop if you recieve a phone call. I hope this does come out, hours of fun annoying your mates by phoning em while they are driving so the engine cuts out :P

Are you a member of PETA by any chance...?

Ungainly.

Meaningless range.

A couple of feature toys thrown in

Not really relevant, is it?

Okay, the Siemens and Harmon Kardon bits may have some use elsewhere, but this is just a badly packaged (front feet between the front axle line? Schoolboy error, tsk) adolescent wet dream with last season's trinkets scattered over it. If they were being remotely serious then it would be packing a CVT and not some left-over cogbox from a Subaru.

Don't get me wrong, I love sports cars. I love my two Ducatis even more. I just find these silly pretend things all rather shallow, badly realised and not very clever.

Andy, rear wheel spats are far from being a recent trend. You can go back a good 80 years to see them first appearing, and were a feature of many vehicles over time. The SS Saloon for example was also available in what Lyons called the Airline model, and he continued to have spats on Jaguars right up to the 1961. The Citroen DS had rear spats, and loads more.

Their aerodynamic contribution is not huge, but it is measurable, and in high performance applications they have served an additional purpose of helping to manage airflow around brakes. Aesthetically, a bit like yourself I can take or leave them, depending on the motor.

Why, when they have invented a virtual "nookie magnet"< do the swiss roll out the stops? Something like this would have been a sure fire starter in the seduction stakes when I were a lad,

actually almost anything with wheels was back then.

Such a sexy car must have room for two up front. How else can the driver get a blowjob?
