Maybe the DS is not as expensive I as first thought ?
Just read a road test/report on the new Fiat 500X AWD Auto, it seemed quite a decent spec and will suit many people but will the price of £25845.00 yes almost 26K and high Fiat depreciation be a factor. All FL2's (3) Gone

yup. And inflation adjusted DS is somewhat comparable to early versions of FL2 price.

2006: £25484* = 2015: £33999

* This was the price for the TD4 XS which I'm guessing is comparable to the DS SE (ish)... FL2 2011 SD4 XS in Galway Green

But the Fiat now comes with a lifetime supply of Viagra. FL2 SD4 Metropolis Auto Santorini Black / ivory completely stock.

It's true that light travels faster than sound, some people look quite intelligent until you hear them speak.


Stop global winging.

And the 16MY DS SE TD4 150 (E-Capability) manual 5 seater now starts at just over £30k and similar HSE now starts at just over £35k

All E-Capability TD4 DSs are a fair chunk cheaper than the 5+2 seater 180 TD4 equivalent. So the 5 seaters aren't that far away from the Fl2 prices, perhaps if they brought out a S spec equivalent to the GS starting at about £28k it might be a good seller. 21MY Defender 90 S 3.0 D200

That can be self limiting for older people.  3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto
5 x FL2 4 manual + 1 auto
