Read about that too in the SMH (Sydney Morning Herald). Will be interesting to see what they do come up with in the series II. Colour Coded Leather XR Logos perhaps?

After 1500kms I'm still only averaging 12.8L/100kms.

Fuel economy is exactly the reason why I won't go for a V8.Anyway, think of the performance increase and handling you'll get with a little bit of weight loss.

Well, if the company I work for brings in salary packaging and I get the pay rise I was promised six months ago fairly soon then maybe I'll get around to getting a Seris 1 next year. I suppose the Series II wouldn't be released until at September 2004 at the earliest so it's a fairly long wait.
