[Slartibartfast]

It's here. I've died and gone to automotive heaven.

[320touring]

V8 4.4?

 

Nice looking motors the S80, I'd like one but I have the Geartronic fear.

[xtriple]

While you're taxing that....

[rantingYoof]

Hence your answer to 2Wilsons.

 

MEGAJELLUS! But I share Honey Badger's Geartronic fear too...

[Slartibartfast]

While you're taxing that....

 

I'll take care of it this evening, promise!

[Slartibartfast]

Yep, the V8 is Yamaha creation out of that there Japan.

[Slartibartfast]

I mean just ... oof

[rantingYoof]

You have firmly won at life when the colour of your actual V8 engine matches the colour of your SUMPTUOUS LEATHER INTERIOR!

 

 

A video of you chirping the V8 would be put on repeat; I've been told they have quite a characteristic burble.

However, I take issue with the below:

 

Intact, his MX5 is a far more capable distance car

Er, no!

[They_all_do_that_sir]

I remember when these came out. What's the story with the engine, is it used in anything else?

Just the XC90 I think

[dome]

I congratulate you on your purchase of a Noble M600 tourer. 

 

Some folk will say it's not autoshite, screw 'em! 

 

I look forward to your thoughts on it?

Er, no!

I think he meant due to the MPG figures. I think it's something like 24MPG quoted, which means even less in the real world (especially the way I drive).

[oldcars]

Class. Plastic mats with volvo too. Winning.

[wuvvum]

Do they still make that engine or is the new S90 only available with 18 different versions of the 2-litre diesel?

[tooSavvy]

O..oooo..ffffff.FF!!

It was only available with the diesels unfortunately, I did ask them and then felt sad at the reply from the sales droid.

 

They have pez engines now, all based on the same 2 litre block, nothing as glorious as the V8 now.

[dave21478]

Winner.

 

I assume you just pull this little yellow tab.....

 

 

...and the whole engine just drops out the bottom for maintenance purposes?

 

 

[Slartibartfast]

I get that, but I'd counter that by saying it's 11 years old, and on paper makes no sense at all. There's no reason at all to buy one of these instead of an equivalent BMW, Merc or Audi, and so no one did. So it's an oddity. Buying one as a daily driver is utterly mental and I'm still not sure I haven't made a choice I'm going to massively regret, but hey, you only live once.

[xtriple]

Cor!!!!

[SierraMikeHotel]

Fapfapfap.

 

This is awesome - how on earth is it 11 years old already?  Love it.

[Jim Bell]

Its no any plain old oddity............................... its a CHODity

[Honey Badger]

[loserone]

That's amazing.   How scary are the geartronics?

[Slartibartfast]

Pez station shot. Brimmed it and odometer reset so let's see what the real world MPG is like.

[BorniteIdentity]

Glorious.

[Dan_ZTT]

Wow, I had no idea these ever came in V8 flavour. Looks fabulous.
