Some people on this forum have posted about how E-Leather, Wifi, Plug Sockets ETC is now Priority on all orders........Then GNE order Dealer B9s which has a ABSOULOUTLY DIFFERENT interior for a High Profile Spec service.
GNE Chucked the Wifi in after they bought the Dealer B9s.
Do you never resell a car? I might like scarlet red leather interior, but I'm sure Joe Bloggs who purchases it next won't. I'd purchase extras such as a decent sound system, alarm system, and interior packs, because I know it'll be of benefit to me and anyone else that uses it.
We've discussed eLeather at length. It's a convenience to operators, so I guess it's in their interests to use that where appropriate. WiFi, Plug Sockets and NSAs... The X66 Streetlites don't have those features, so I don't know how they're a priority? I'd say more an assessment on merit.
I'd questioned the WiFi comments, because normally when you refer to 'thrown in', you're talking about an optional extra given to you at the dealer's discretion.
