From XC60 to Porsche Macan or BMW X3?

[Arianne]

Impossible, the whole thing is integrated both visually and from a software perspective. If the drive and engine soundtrack are excellent then the 380w hifi is good enough. The 80w version isn't, we tried that in Edinburgh last week and that was poor.

Are the black wheels part of the black pack, as I notice in your pictures they are silver.

No, the wheels are not part of the black pack. Thanks for the reference to the review which I have also now read, it makes good reading!

As an aside, thinking about the first picture in the earlier series of four, someone has suggested to me that the side profile has a slight similarity to a RRSport? I can see that, just.

Ten minutes of pure joy!

Just been reading this post on the Mercedes Forum. I like the Blue with white leather.

We called in to Ryebrook in Huddersfield to look at alternatives to the XC60 yesterday, XE/XF only in our list. The F-Pace's were there, in all their glory

The red really is their colour over the others. An impressive beast with that large grill and the bulk, plenty of road presence. Supposedly 20 of the 35 build slots are already signed up for. You will be in an exclusive club for a bit Arianne

The 'bit' is the worry...!!

Soon F pace will be as common as Evoque, which is as common as a Mondeo..!! (I'm only jealous Arianne...!!!... )

At least XC60 is relatively rare so far, despite its success over the years.

That is the benefit of an XC60 really, despite F Pace being a better vehicle.

The blue is a bit nice!
Not so sure about the comment "Some of the plastic trim was straight out of a 1986 XR3i" - hey, I had an F-reg XR3i, loved that car!!

When I bought my XC nearly 2 years ago, it was relatively rare on the roads around here. Sadly they are indeed becoming as common as "mondeo's etc". I think it must have something to do with Leasing and of course the HUGE discounts if buying from the likes of DTD (like I did). I am buying an Audi through DTD for MrsA and the discount is nowhere near the Volvo one.

Agree that XC60s are pretty much everywhere now, but then again I'd say all SUVs are. Porsche appear to be the only 'rare' brand.

If you go to parts of Cheshire they, Cayennes, are like Mondeo's. Visting relatives once it got to be a joke with my son, "there's another one, and another, and another" etc. We stopped counting shortly into the trip. There is a scary amount of money out there for some people.
