Whatever next ? Penny pinching at its worst .

Agree
I can always buy one if it bothers me later on.

 

Cost cutting at it's finest.
What's next?

 

Do you think roll Royce and lambo and Ferrari do the same thing. Cost cutting.

 

On some Ferarri models they use fiat door handles. So yes even these makes do. The Porsche Macan uses the base of the former Audi q5, not the latest Q5. I know this is not 100% the same as technically we were speaking about leaving items out along a cars lifespan, but my point is cost cutting happens everywhere in the car industry.

 

Still waiting my 1.6t sports tourer arrive, hope it is a 1.6t and not 1.4t or Corsa with Astra badges...😁

 

I drove a 68 plate 1L Ford fiesta st line recently for a fortnight, and that didn't even have an engine cover. It was a nice car to drive but the engine noise in the cabin in low gears was very noticeable compared to the astra.

 

yes agree the removal of all the sound proofing is a bit much maybe ... mine can sound like a small van at times!
