I considered the possibility of the new one. The reviews of the 2007 model and somewhat mixed, i.e. the improvements do not seem to be hugely significant. The existing supercharged engine is very reliable. The new turbo engine does not deliver much more torque or power, and new car is a little slower off the line. On the positive side the new engine promises to be more fuel efficient and the interior finish seems a bit nicer. The handling of the new model seems to be more mainstream, i.e. feels more like a front wheel drive, and delivers a less bumpy ride. I generally do not buy the first year of a new model, so I figured the I would rather try one of the last ones off the assembly line from the old model. I will wait two years or so and perhaps buy the new model them.
Regards
Posidon
