My Ride: 535D Sport Auto
Are you a petrol head? Do you prefer the wicked sound of the straight 6 or the fantastic smooth roar of the V8 as you're propelled at an alarming rate towards the sunset. Vote now!
Or
Are you a dieselhead? Do you like the thrum of the straight 6 fuel sipper with that fantastic midrange instant response. Vote now for the derv!
Sorry if this is a repeat poll but what the hell, come on everyone vote away.

Sorry Merv
