All the cars used in the launch events were prestige or dynamic.
All the cars used in magazines or promotional literature were prestige or dynamic
Now a so called shortage of xenons only effects the pure model
Already a few people on this forum have changed from pures to prestige or dynamics - think it may be working
Conspiracy theory??........Cool

Wink Doubt it's a conspiracy theory, if you were giving your new car design it's first public airing, you'd want people to be wowed by the top spec's to get the best reviews... just plain marketing. They probably just underestimated the demand for xenon's or got hit by teething problems with a supplier, gonna happen.

I think you have been reading to many comics. Such a suggestion is commercially naive. Sorry Vinny I don't agree because in the long term it would do more damage than good. Wink

Arrived: SD4 Prestige Auto Coupe with Lux pack. Ipanema Sand with Black Panoramic Roof
Ambience Interior with Macassa wood.

Now a Jag XFR Kyanite Blue - wow what power.
At home and superb.
