Foreman has been talking to senior BMW 7-Series engineers.

And I can’t work out whether it was over or under whelming. Too much going to take in really, and [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=foreman.blogs.topgear.com&blog=4140443&post=996&subd=bbcforeman&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

The big news is that, like the new RX SUV, it’ll be hybrid-only. Hybrid is to Lexus what high-boost diesel is to the Germans. Big performance, low thirst.

Then swallow hard at this super-luxo Lagonda Concept itself, a  posh BMW X6-alike which is deadly serious for production in 2012. Then prepare for another shock: it&#8217;s the sort of bastard half-cousin of a Mercedes GL.

Another wave of catastrophic car-company news this morning, as Honda closes its Swindon plant for a staggering four months. Look around the industry and you see that even the golden boys are in the cack.
These are the companies regarded as impeccably run because they have strong brands.
