Owner’s own wordsYouTube comment

“The earlier gen was more understated in design. This one is a bit over designed. It will be a bad idea for typical urban dwellers to buy these - it is just too large for our narrow roads and parking will definitely be a pain.”

This bit doesn't carry over

Owners abroad rate this car's resale, warranty and service cost on their own market's terms. None of that applies here — different duty, dealer network and used market. It is shown separately and never counted above.
