2·21 days agoThey’ve gone up, but it looks like it might be to get ahead of the April tax on cars over £40k. We might see a reduction in sales April onwards, and as the article points out the sales increase is below that of other brands.
Still not ideal though.

Ask six people to identify the ‘soul’ in a piece of art and you’ll get seven different answers. It’s an entirely subjective concept.
