They didnt get the full colour screen 5" RNS-D in the USA - What they did get was the cheaper text based solution, similar to the text one in the prefacelift S8's in the UK. This is why you see a GPS aerial on this unit, and you will find lots of forums in the US for owners busily hacking away to get USA map discs to work on retro-fitted RNS-D... +++

Nope, with UK spec it was optional.

LWB gave you things like rear blinds, glass sunroof, multifunction steering wheel with rear controls in the armrest, electric rear headrests/lumbar.

It also gave the (very comfortable imo) comfort seats, which weren't found on any other D2... +++

You also got the little button in the rear passenger side door to move the passenger seat forward...

Yeah, you all guessed it right. Thought that would have been hard. Its a LWB with S8 bits. Oh shucks :(

Okay, someone else have a go now so I can play too.

they dont make a long wheel base S8 only the A8 comes in LWB so its a pretendy S8 with the wrong wheels on also its looks like a face lift but why are the indicators orange ? arent they clear normally ???

IT 9th June 2011 09:36 AM

US indicators are orange at the front, and rear lights are more red than ours..... Amar has been doing an international trade exchanging US for UK bits as they want ours and he wants theirs ;)

Correct, got a pair of US rears waiting for my next D2, whenever that may be...
