ugh
I can't say that I like my sedans without a nice flat rear deck trunklid. You either make it a wagon or you make it sedan, not this weird in between thing.

It's completely ostentatious and ugly. Which is why it's so good. If I was filthy, stinking rich, I'd drive one just to make poor people resent me more.

I like it. I'm not a big fan of the Veyron, but this looks pretty cool. With less/no polished aluminum, that is. Don't know what they're aiming for in the US market, but 900,000 British pounds has got to be knocking on 2 million bucks. There is a collection of vehicles I would rather spend that money on.
The exchange rate has improved considerably in the last 12 months. the world recession has been good to the US$. A year ago 900k GBP was almost $2mil, now it's less than $1.5M. Factoring in the fact that UK Prices have 17.5% VAT (Value added Tax) included it's more like $1.3mUSD. Still no bargain.
On to the styling, I was never keen on the Veyron in pictures, I thought it looked big and bulky. Having seen a couple in the flesh it's now top of my Lotto jackpot dream list.

$1.3 is better, but I still don't think I'd pay that much for it if I had the money.
I would spring for a slightly older Maserati Quattroporte if I wanted a ritzy sedan

Not only that, but you'll blind them as you drive past and it will burn them if they try to touch it. Perfect!
