  1. What car would you choose to be your next grand tourer? A classic 2-door or a more practical 4-door? What drivetrain would you opt for: a pure iCE, a hybrid, a PHEV or maybe all electric? Lets discuss these questions in the comments!

  2. Maybe if this had been a look at 90s grand tourers there may have been one or two jaguars involved in it??? jaguar are about as dead as the labour party and that's such a pity!! Another British institution ruined by lack of vision by those in charge???

  3. Man this started off with the Bentley I was like iooowwwweeee!!!!, the on to a Kia stinger?….a Kia stinger?…seriously?…I’m out!!!…what a joke

  4. is it a dumbest selection I ever seen? Kia and Ferrari in one list? are you serious?
    btw, real GTs – has only 2 doors. rest ifsfor pussies

  5. I’m a bit confused, a grand tourer is a 2 door front engine car build for lang distance touring and not a four door saloon car that looks like a coupe. so no Mercedes CLS, BMW 6 serie or Kia Stinger, but BMW 8 serie, Bentley Contintal, Polestar 1 and Rolls Royce Wraith are.
    Kia and other brands call cars by the wrong name to have a fancy model name this is pure marketing.

  6. Vidéo starts with two heavy weights Continental and Stinger…guys.. a 620hp Roma is only 1500kg of dead weight……far away from any overweighted GT coal waggon…how can anyone envision a « Grand Turismo » usage without a certain reach…over 50 roundabout or 3 mountain passes..per day….with only a city car range….à Stelvio which cannot pass the Stelvio pass back and forth could not be called a STELVIO isn’t it???

  7. I like bmw but, really, 145000? Na.
    I believe that with bmw success they are getting too greedy and will price themselves from the market and let's face it there is a wonderful choice out there. Ferrari Roma for instance. Beautiful.

  8. That 6 series GT is not a real 6 series, its a 5 series Gran Turismo rebadged as a 6 for whatever reason. Real 6 series comes only in coupe and Gran coupe forms which is arguably their best looking Gran Tourer…
