I'm holding out till the active chassis option comes on line. Adjustable dampers, adaptive headlights, active steering and more

Not sure if that is 09 or 2010 but I'll happily drive my VIII till then

By that time the aftermarket will be fully up and established and I can go play rally driver in the snow with it or go GTR hunting on the track...can't wait

Im waiting for another suspension setup by you that was similar to the "Vishnu" Ohlins,

Every time I autocross or go to a track day I think about how I should have pulled the trigger while I still could...

Thanks and sorry, little O/T but...

You do see the Vishnu Ohlins for sale occasionally but like most folks, I'm keeping mine!

ok, i'm interested. i've been looking around for more in depth discussion about those items. other than adaptive headlights for the X in other markets and a decent discussion out of SCC (http://www.sportcompactcarweb.com/fe...eel_drive.html)
about active steering and active braking, which i believe was published in '05/'06. i say all this to ask - could you shed some light on what it is exactly that you're holding out for and why you think they are going to be so valuable? because clearly things have advanced since that article, but i can't find much discussion about them.

thanks

I want an X really bad but I'm not going to settle. Let's go
My sentiments exactly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

+1 for the fact that the 09s are going to be the EXACT same as the 08s

It would be great if they would accept they screwed up and build another 9!

It would be great if people stopped turning everything into a discussion of how the previous generation was better.
