Re: new guy
There are a couple V6s, a few Coupes, and at least one V6 Coupe here too 
I fall into the middle category - I've had my 2.2 litre direct-injection petrol Coupe for a month now and I'm just loving it. I would have gone for a V6 had one been available closer to home (Aberdeen), but I had to go all the way down to Earlston to check out the one I bought!
The 2.2 is a very sprightly engine; it generates 160 HP, and there's a lot of low-end torque, so from a standing start it really leaps. It has a lovely engine note too, especially during hard acceleration in 2nd gear; you can hear it clearly with the windows up, but I found myself opening them both on my way home yesterday just to hear it even more clearly
It is also significantly better at accelerating from 50 in 5th gear than my old 1.8 saloon ever was; I am now actually able to overtake people on those long, winding single-carriageway sections of the A9 on my way to and from Inverness / Thurso.
