Get the E-Classmug. The sort of person who would go away for a weekend with his wife to a hotel somewhere romantic and spend the entire night flirting outrageously with a waitress and it's OK because he's got a Jaaag.

Get the Evoquemug. The Ultimate BMW 5-Series. Supersaloon (sedan) now with a 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8. Better than all uber-saloons. Apart from the Jaaag XFR-S.

Get the M5mug. A: I heard your mate broke up with his girlfriend. They were a great cycling team.
B: Yeah, he's heartbroken. He's bought himself a new bike though.
A: What is it?
B: A lackadaisical.

Get the Lackadaisicalmug. Invented by a Frenchman just before WW2 and introduced to road cars in 2003 in the Golf R32, this type of transmission is a semi-automatic gearbox - two clutches take care of two sets of gears. One clutch takes care of odd gears (1, 3, 5, 7) and the other clutch deals with the even gears (R, 2, 4, 6).
How it works:
One clutch has 1st gear engaged, with the car moving forwards. Meanwhile, the other clutch has 2nd gear ready to be engaged. Come change-up time, clutch no.1 disengages 1st and clutch no.2 engages 2nd gear and the car keeps going, whilst clutch no.1 prepares 3rd gear for engagement. All of this happens within milliseconds, so power delivery to the road is uninterrupted.
Usually - though not always - dual-clutch gearboxes are more fuel-efficient than an equivalent manual gearbox.

"What gearbox have you got in your Audi TT?"
"Oh, I've got Audi's (VW's) dual-clutch gearbox. It's fantastic!"
