We should keep an eye on the prices for the 350z and RX8 etc. to see if there is a knock on effect with their manufacturers reducing prices to combat the DC XF move.
I wouldn't hold my breath. The RX8 is a four seater sports car with constant excellent reviews by even the most difficult motoring journos around the world. 350Z is not far behind.
Let's be clear here, in the UK DC are lowering their price to sell cars *at all* in comparison to the competition. Audis, Nissans and Mazdas sell themselves no reaction is required to the DC move.
I'd still rather have my xfire.
Anyone actually looked at the residuals on Parkers to qualify some of this discussion?
