Difference between launching during bubble and after bubble pops.

Very fair point. Have those groups of aspirationally hungry folks who were around back in 2004 not been replaced by similar types this time around though?

I understand that this recession is bad but I'm led to believe that its the mainstream employee groups thats bearing the brunt, not those who can afford to throw, and probablay allways will be able to afford to throw, £29k+ at a fun car? I'm not being up myself with that statement, its just that what i'm led to understand, ie the rich get richer etc etc, I would not know for definite either way.

By the way, I wasnt aspirationally hungry back then, I was just plain daft and went without lots of other things to pay for it. I still think its a poor attempt at maintaining MB's heritage though, crikey! its even got LED DRL's on the front! I only just noticed that.

Portzy.
