In Danger?

Hi Friends;

I am almost ready to order a JCW Cabriolet with DSM & all the goodies.

I also understand that 2006 is coming to an end and 2007's will be upon us soon. It is also my understanding that The Cabriolet will stay in it's old motor configuration till 2008 or so.

I DO NOT want the Turbo model... If I delay ordering much longer I am afraid I might be in dager of missing out on the Supercharged Cabriolet.

Anybody know anything about this scenario and what my chances are of ordering the SC Cabriolet a few months into the 2007 model year?

Thanks for any input.

Jay,

The supercharged cabrio is going to continue on. It will not be getting the turbo until it changes body styles and that's not in the cards for at least another year (and more likely two).

Welcome to NAM.

Dave

Do you know how happy that post has just made me, Dave?



I did not know this to be true for the Cabrio, and am very excited that I can now buy yet more time while I think (off and on and off again) about trading/selling Ollie.
