I am sure you will be able to buy them and switch yours out for a pretty penny.

...and I am sure other people will 'want those seats' when they see them unattended in the parking lot.

Wink Mmmmmm

Well I like the seats, although the Pug 207 GTi seats are even better!

Rotory shaped exhaust holes are gone, instrument cluster in the model shown is all different with no proper oil pressure gauge still by the look of it

Back spoiler looks too short and shows too much of the exhaust for my liking

Back lights are same as new Mazda 6....

Like the finish of the interior with the red trim....more pretend leather than in my car...

My local dealer said that the new 08 models will be hitting Oz in June July....facelift with 09 model still to come. He's trying to get me into another one....I am little miss indecisive at the moment....

Heh heh heh, I should introduce you to Little Miss Decisive one day (you might remember her from my jokes group emails). You two would get along famously...

And yes I'm off topic but couldn't give a rats ****. Nothing worth talking about until we see what is locally released...

Yes I remember her from your emails.....that's why I thought of Little Miss Indecisive....I am off topic too discussing this.....today though I have on my Little Miss Don't Mess Wit Me hat and I like wearing this one...it suits me!

I agree though....with the number of issues Max has had over the last few years I am beginning to wonder if I shouldn't get myself something reliable....like an old Honda, Corolla or Datsun.... He's had more "issues" than New Idea!
