That's quiet nice?
That was his take on the coupe, for some reason he liked the roadster more, lame reasoning was something like the coupe tries to be a sports car but with the roof gone there is no pretense, its just a fun car! There was a line about the dog poo in Iceland but I think that was a reference to his previous comments when the coupe came out.
One thing to bear in mind is in the UK we pay some strange prices for cars, that sometimes distorts the view from elsewhere. BMW options are pricey, so a loaded 3 series can but a poorer deal than a loaded X-type. I think the 3 series outsold the Ford Mondeo (Taurus?) last year in the UK, so that makes it common as muck and one to stay away from!
