When I tested out the car at the dealership I also complained about some wind noise. It was definitely coming from the top back end of the door. This was gone when I got my own car. I also read about this problem with the fist production batch that was being tested here in Europe early June and apparently was still with the test car. My car has no wind noise at all (only at 190 kph). To answer you remark to the cassette player. I was told that as of Feb next year you can get a single CD or MD (CHF 290 / 370) according to the Swiss price list in exchange for the stupid cassette player.

Your last sentence refers to the possible replacement of the "stupid cassette player" for a "single CD....CHF 290 (whatever that stands for). My question to you is: would this apply to us in the United States? If so, what cost,if any, might there be. It simply boggles my mind to think that the Brits are so out of tune with what is popular in the U.S. The cassette bit is, in my humble opinion, the technological equivalent of the Brits giving us a Beta format videotape at the very time most people are using the VHS format! What were they thinking? My answer: they (Brits) obviously were not thinking!
