Probably be either the new V6/8 F-type AWD, or the V6 manual. Only RWD and automatic available before.

Ah yes, saw that in the TG mag while waiting for her indoors at the shops. I think the new MX-5 looks stunning a real step up, and did I read its smaller! I tip my hat to Mazda for bucking the car growing trend if so. Look lovely in that red.

So many cars, so few lottery numbers coming up

I have to say that is a bit lovely, and 200BHP in a RWD roller skate? Top fun!

Now why can't BMW come up with a replacement Z4 like that?
