"I love you, in a way"Last month the world was having kittens when Notlee Noble announced that their new M600 supercar was going to cost £200,000. Yes, two hundred grand for a car that everyone likes to repeatedly point out is still going to be built in Leicester, as if the city is some sort of national embarrassment. Well it's not, it may not be the most exciting place in the UK (that award goes to Wellingborough), however if the M600 was built in Windsor it would probably cost £250,000. Ok?
Since only a select couple of people outside of the factory have piloted the new car to date, an official verdict is tough. However, when a trusted and well known Autocar staffer describes his experience as 'making the supercharged Ariel Atom look magnolia in comparison' you are rather inclined to believe the man that it is nothing short of outstanding.

This month, word on the internet street is that after 74.91 years of development, Lexus have finally started to get somewhere in producing their stolid supercar, the LFA. No word on what the last two characters stand for, but put it this way, the Tokyo display car was white, and most indulgent exotics that cost more than £100,000 find their way en masse to the Middle East these days.
The Lexus is going to be priced at £336,000 or thereabouts, a Gallardo (or rural 3 bed semi) more than the Noble. For that you get a car that is quoted to be slower in every respect, wears a badge that is, (let's be honest) just an inverted Toyota emblem, and thinks dishwater is the most exciting thing it has ever seen.

But don't worry yourselves, for this is being produced in Japan not "Back of the net"Barwell so we mustn't complain.
What we can do though is arrange ourselves in a neat little line and all bow down and salute that small industrial estate in the UK, if the consistently impressive Japanese engineers can't beat it for nigh on twice the price then it makes our little island and its Ancleicestors look even more impressive.
I wish them (and my Euromillions ticket) all the best of luck.
