No mention of Stop / Start on Auto's as far as I'm aware. I think it has to be a function of the gearbox. If it was using the new XF 8 speed then it would have that ability - I don't think the 6 speed auto has it.

There isn't a lot of point in having it on an automatic is there? I mean there is still a lot of slippage in most types of auto box that would probably waste more fuel than stop start would save?

Latest Porsche Cayenne has it and it does make a difference according to the test reports.

It's only useful if you do a fair bit of commuter/ town driving surely where you get delays at traffic lights? My cars rarely go into city centres as I either use the park and ride from out of town =£1 all day for parking and free bus to the middle of town where cars cannot go or £1 for 30 minutes in town in the NCP....................... being a trainee Scotsman I use the out of town parking!
