Went to see a new one today. Very impressed by how much nicer it is than our current xc90. We were looking at ordering a reasonably well specced Momentum D5. But ended up buying the showroom model as it was so close to what we wanted and they would give us more for our trade-in now, than if we traded it in a few months.
How much did we get off list price? Zilch.

Congrats,
I bit the bullet today and have ordered a T8 inscription on a business lease.

I went for the Onyx black but with amber interior.

Apparently most build slot have been taken up already and my dealer says it will be April delivery.

I wanted Amber interior too, but when my wife saw it she started dry retching, which I took as a signal that she didn't want it. Shame, I really liked it. Seems it's a love or hate colour.

Lovely motors all but after watching the Carbuyer review of the new Q7 I'm surprised that I find myself liking it so much. On business contract hire the Audi looks more attractive plus 6 cylinders, better standard kit and Isofix on all six passenger seats...

Don't worry. It'll pass I'm sure.

It is a very individual thing,colour...Did your wife see the Amber seats in the flesh or in a brochure?

The interior looks a work or art,the front end is far uglier than sin itself.

A mate of mine said buying the new Q7,would be the equivalent of marrying an extremely ugly woman but who has a heart of gold.

In the flesh, we looked at a swatch and she wasn't sure. So the sales man took us to a car with it installed. Her reaction was instant and negative. I still like it.
She said it reminded her of her grand parents Triumph 2500.
