    Yes and those are the ones that are most cost sensitive.

    A rich person says a want a one of those, with all of these options when can I have one?

    The rest of the market says I have 20k to spend as a max what can I get?

    Years ago I worked for a firm that only had two cars on their list. Audi A4 for senior consultants and a Honda Accord for the likes of me. So I took the Honda and was quite chuffed with my automatic gearbox and full set of options like all electric Windows air conditioning and a sunroof and a Pioneer sound system. Then I got in in the back of one of the other guys Audi's and there was a funny little winder for the Windows

    The difference was the Audi was so expensive at the time the only way any the guys could have one was to hollow out all the extras

    I will probably move from Mercedes to Jaguar if it gets contentious. Even if it's not British owned anymore at least it's built here.

    I'm actually surprised Farage hasn't moved to Germany, I mean his wife is German, there are enough bigots here as well and the real plus point for him is you can smoke and drink in pubs at the same time
