Guys

I dont know if I am alone here, but I am really surprised at the ride height of the 56 compaired to the outgoing model...

I have been behind three new S's and they all look like they are ready to go crop dusting - they sit so high, you can read the numberplate of the car infront underneath it!! (joke...but nearly...)

Have they changed the rear valance or is it really that high? I am being serious here! The wheel arch clearance looks much higher so I guess its for real!

Or - am I missing something - new owners are opting for S's with the supermarket super springy suspension having said bye bye to anything slighly sporty on the options list!?!
