^ Well actually I have just sold those two too...
I simply cannot get enough good quality stock and I will not buy anything other than very well sorted cars I can trust.
Luckily I am in a position to be that picky

The roof is the same colour as the inserts on the wheels, the rear and front aprons are a standard colour, I think black would make it look even more like a slab but I think they should be the same as the roof, I paid 80k

With D5 I was hoping for a decent petrol as always preferred them, I wanted a V8 D3 but they stopped selling them so thought I would go for petrol now its available again. Not quite the performance specs I was hoping for but its change.
As for canceling, its a long storey as I have quite specific needs from a Load space point of view for which the D5 is in no way a match for the D4. Current plan is to keep the D4 as the family car and me use the D5 as my daily (this was SWMBO's idea!). We had a deposit down on a D5 way before they were released but canceled it on viewing it pre launch but then I changed my mind again and order this and now have cold feet again as its a pretty stupid purchase if have to keep the D4 which meets all our needs.MY06 S - Gone but not forgotten

Ahh I see, horses for courses This is our family car even though there's just the wife and I now, but we tow a twin axle caravan on long haul over the summer, my daily car is a LWB Range 5.0 supercharged so I'm spoilt really as I'm a self employed chauffeur

Great looking car I think the grey roof makes it less tall/bulky and thats a good thing.
Rear looks OK I was behind one on my road today and that looked OK to me... (I think the number plate needs to fill the Oblong area.)
