New Bugatti Galibier 16C

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.

That thing is ugly as sin!

It's beautiful. o.o

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.

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

Really? Now that's by definition of UGLY!

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