If you listen to Nige it's "Hasn't Got Torque" but I prefer "Highly Gorgeous Transport". 
Possibly "Hybrid Grand Tourer"?

HGT Reviews..(just out of interest..)
I can't even remember where I found this now (I've never seen the original brochure), but for those boffs amongst you that might know what on earth they're talking about, here's an extract I found:
The 5-cylindered 155 20v engine tops the Bravo range and has certain features in its design that set it at the top of its category. The unit is balanced by a counter-rotating shaft that turns at the same speed as the engine in the opposite direction. The ignition and self-adaptive phased sequential injection are managed in combination by a Bosch Motronic ME 3.1 unit, with each injector controlled individually (engine control is made more efficient by the use of a motorised throttle drive). The intake ducts come with a new modular manifold and have been optimised to reconcile high torque at low and medium speeds with high power at high speeds. Variable valve timing optimises power, torque and emissions. This decidedly sporty power unit delivers extraordinary driving flexibility that translates into superior handling and great travelling comfort.

that should be HGTc for 'handling and great travel comfort' then...

Re: HGT Reviews..(just out of interest..)
if the same engine was used in the Coupe, why didn't they fit the turbo to the HGT? a bit of plumbing and a new bonnet would of made a great car greater.

Well, seeing as no-one has got it right yet, I'll tell you:
Hasn't Got a Turbo

'Has Gigantic Todger'
courtesy of someone else on the forum.
'Hasnt Got Torque' would best describe it.
'Handling of a Giant Turd' also fits.
still love it
