See nowadays is the key word. The carlton came out what 1990ish? did a claimed 180mph i think it was. And all that from a production saloon however many years ago. Granted the m5 etc are brilliant cars but look what there was back at the time of the carlton. These days it takes something like the veyron for you to say wow, there will never be another car quite like that one. The Carlton will always do it for me. M5 is just a fast beemer. Lotus carlton makes you sit back and go.. fuck yeah.

My opinion anyway
