And maybe the ipod interface thingy.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And maybe the ipod interface thingy..Yes, it most certainly does! Our neighbour over the road is probably 75 now and he gets a new car about every 12-18 months... the number of "grandpa" cars he's had is unbelievable! He did have an Aurion (that only lasted 6 months!) actually... but the funny thing is, he's got a VW Golf diesel now and he reckons it's fast Little does he know...And yeah, the engine has got a LOT to do with why I'm looking at a G6ET. I'm addicted to turbos, and it's a pretty big engine anyway - so put the two together = very fast car Oh, I'll be buying a 160GB iPod classic just for this car - which will give me a comparatively unlimited amount of musical options compared to now, which is basically a single disc CD player that can't read mp3's - so I have about 20 CD's in each car all over the place...The Bluetooth phone integration will be great also, as will the satnav. Just heard that they're considering making it illegal to use a satnav application on a phone as opposed to a dedicated satnav unit - wtf? Why!? So if they do, I've got integrated satnav to save me there It's got it all! Oh yeah, that's the very definition of a "grandpa" car - but I don't care! Might just repaint the chrome grille black but other than that, I like it how it is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
