Take the old front end and the new back end and mash 'em together.

Then call it the Z4.5.

the exhaust sounds intoxicating

pics will have to wait for a deserving opportunity... ie I've got a trip planned for next weekend:

the Blue Ridge Parkway (45 mph silky smooth road that winds back and forth along a mountain ridge for hundreds of miles) and then the Dragon

It just doesn't seem right to photograph this car in an office parking lot

in person the red is a bit deeper than many photos I've seen, and it works really nicely... I don't think I'd ever get tired of it. It really sort of gives the Porsche an Italian feel actually, it's kind of odd.

I'm expecting some killer pics from the trip killboy.com takes great action shots of everything that goes thru the Dragon

Nice spec there Rakey

I have to say, the configs aren't coming out as expensive as I thought they might be - cue Washy to come in and spec a monster one

TBH there isn't much to add on the configurator, nothing that will really make it look any different to a normal MCS IMO

The things that are most important to me to change from the R56 MCS is the suspension, and then the seats, so they know they'll be getting nearly 25k if I ordered one

Had a quick play on the configurator last night. Have to say an all DS looks

Well, the Meriva has been on Autorader for 1 week now, and no bites whatsoever.

I've priced it to be the cheapest car within 20 miles, and based on engine size / spec, it's the 3rd cheapest in the country. I suspect price has nothing to do with why it's not selling , just the market is on it's a*se.

So based on that I''m now looking at taking a hit, and trading it in.

I have my eye on 3 MCS's, and will be doing a "world tour" of northern England on Friday to get some firm "cost to change" values from two dealers. Can't say I'm hopeful, but then you never know!
