What would you like to see in the 2013MY

Hi Tim, Great word!!!!!!

Permagrin
A long lasting smile usually caused by the frivolous feel after a great session of sex. A great partner is required to achieve this higher plane of sexual satisfaction. Accompanies lightheadedness, temporary speech impendiment, being off balance, carelessness, blurred vision, and general sexual "outbursts"

In day to day driving I find that it is so quiet that I have to be very careful observing speed limits - doing 60 feels like you are doing 40.................... in 31 years driving I have never had a point on my licence, I'm going to have to be very very careful. Even with a tight new engine the car is plenty lively enough and fairly leaps away if you manually downshift the auto with the paddle. It isn't in Porsche Cayenne Turbo or RRS S/C territory and it won't frighten a VW R32 but it's got enough go to keep all but the boy racers quite amused with its handling and oomph. I have 550mile racked up since Friday night and I am 1/3rd of the way down the second tank of diesel.


On my test drive yesterday I overtook someone on the M23 and when I eased off at about 60 I was actually doing 90 !!
(thought to myself - now I like that - seemed like effortless power)

D3 owners, Freelander2, RRS and FFRR will know what I mean when I say the Evoque also comes standard with Permagrin in best LR tradition!

Trust somebody to look it up ............................ but all owners of Disco3, F2 RRS and FFRR's are quite familiar with this phenomenon!

I'd like to be able to specify Prestige interior with Dynamic exterior (I know it's been said before, but that's what I, and lots of others, want).

I'd also like to see the 5 door have a more "3-door-like" appearance, by hiding the rear door handles in the C pillar or rear wheel arch - as per Nissan Juke and certain Alpha Romeos. (Yes I know I could actually buy a 3 door, but I like the practicality of a 5 door with the look of the 3 door).

Just my thoughts and I haven't even got my car yet.

Yes agree or even a set of suicide doors as Mazda rx would-be a thought !!

Hi Tim, Have u got the Zeon Headlamps on yours, Just checked
with my Dealer as my build was 15 this month. Now they have a problem with this option and new date Mid Nov. What a Bummer, have you heard anything.

Or even the Ssangyong XIV-1

Bri7 - yes I have the full monty adaptive bi-Xenons and they work just as I expected from my RRS days.

Now here's another little electric thing that would be nice for frosty, snowy mornings.................a temperature sensitive / activated switch that disables auto-on wipers when there s risk of the wiper blades getting frozen to the glass. I scratched the screen on my last FFRR when I forgot last winter and not only ripped the rubbers off, I scratched the screen with a lump of ice...........

Wow not experienced that yet but makes complete sense, is that an option standard on any other vehicle manufacturers as I have never heard of that?

If not then perhaps patent the idea.

Cheaper fuel prices in 2013 would be nice
