Personally, I prefer the look of the AM Vantage but the performance characteristics of the M6.
Agreed. The Vantage is a beautiful car--inside and out.

thought that all M6's in the UK were sold but went into my dealer ( CooperBMW - Reading ) on saturday and there was a silver one in the showroom. it was a cancelled order and if i had the 80000 odd pounds sterling available i could have bought it there and then. still thats how it goes!

The interior is absolutely gorgeous, what with all the hand stitched leather and aluminum-glass combination details...the inside looks like a Rolex chronograph with a leather wrist band.

Don't like the look of the AM's front. Looks cross-eyed to me. It's funny that you (me) allways compares cars fronts and behinds with humans..

I bet if that was a dry course it would have been closer. Is it always raining in the U.K.?

There was too much video of them laughing in the rain on the side of the road and not enough of the cars.

Here's a site that has lots of Top Gear and Fifth Gear programs, but it's bit torrent so I don't use it.
