How can a vehicle like that be “fun?” I’m sure they’d be great to be chauffeured around in, especially in a city. But why do people who enjoy driving lust after them?
As a gentleman’s grand tourer or stately ‘sportier’ gentleman’s car, they’re wonderful.

If you want to do the twisties, one usually has a Jag or Aston around.

I completely understand the appeal of an Aston Martin, or even some Jags. I can see some of the mid to upper level execs you employ enjoying them!
