CPD1 what you have said about the Lexus is interesting....I hadn't heard that. That is going to be an interesting one as it's going to be very hard to enforce I would have thought? If Ken singles out a specific car I wouldn't be surprised if that ends up in court somehow...restraint of trade or something like that. I am sure the government will win though. Not sure I'd agree with you about the X3 being a big success....the discounts you can get from BMW dealers on them tend to indicate otherwise!

Regardless of all this I am going to be ordering an X5 so I can't wait. Gbay to answer your question the CC doesn't bother me as I live just outside it but my boss lives in it and he's going to have an annual bill of £6500 for driving his kids to school....his new Q7 is looking mighty expensive!
