Not keen on it myself, I would actually choose a MY8.5 in preference even if they cost the same. The colour coding doesn't suit the car or the design, the black plastic arches and bumpers are part of the design.

Why do they have to fit wheels that are gonna be a right pain to clean, especially if you're like me and don't do 'em as often as you should  I'd be unstoppable - if I could just get started

thats what I was trying to get across in my post! To do this justice the bumpers need a complete redesign, but then where do you stop...............

Well I wouldn't finalise my order until they confirmed no changes over 8.5 (had me cornered as no 8.5 left  )
There is a new colour. Almond. IMHO too many colours inside, roof lining, black on dash, silver round radio, almons seats, almond dash panels . . . . Bit too fussy for me - went for black leather. JD ! "To finish first, one first has to finish ...."

Hi Hernan
Have you had any feedback from Al Tayer Motors when the 09 models will be in stock?

seen some more this morning trucking their way to the docks..............going to take a while to get to like it....and as for the new HSE wheels, they are way too fussy in the flesh. Simple shape, simple details really ought to change this.........
