You're right, that is one ugly nose on the car. The interior isn't bad, it has 
a better layout, to my eye at least, than the BMW or MB. I'm surprised at the 
torque figures for the W12. I thought they would be higher. I have to check, 
but I thought that comparable displacement engines from other manufacturers 
had higher torque values.
