Made up my mind that I want a new car before the end of the year. Really can't decide what I want though. Fancy something a bit grown up, maybe a RR Vogue (want a Sport end of next year). Apart from that I really can't think

Budget wise, maybe 25-26k but not wanting to spend more than that. Any ideas? Not after something really fast, in your face etc.

what about some sort of audi a4/a6 sized/based estate? S-line etc?

i presumed you wanted an estate due to a RR being one of your choices.

Don't really want an estate. Thought X5 but I think they look a bit crap, and I hate the arsehole image that goes with them

Worth looking at though..

ALso thought of a 7 series, love the CL55 AMG too which are coming down to that price although I wanted a 2004, 2003 oldest really.

Surely all big 4x4's have an arsehole image?

Every car has some kind of "image", which typically doesn't actually reflect what kind of person the driver is at all.

I wouldn't say a Range Rover has an arsehole image at all. Very nice classy car with brilliant heritage.

My mate's selling a mint 55 plate S3 which is quiet nice but I'm not sure I want a 'performance car' because most things will feel a let down after my current/previous cars.

Would love an RS4 but can't afford the current model, TVR is nice but after the 350z I vowed never to have 2 seats again. Not really a fan of Alfas
