Drew,<BR>Where did you learn your German?<P>Seems like the Ocean Race model won't be ready till Jan 02 then.....<P>I'm very interested in that car, but heard some bad stories about the new XC model..is that true?<P>So...the S60R will be out in Jan 02 as well??<P>

I think your tranlation is a little off there. Included is the washer cleaner system not Headlights Shining Purified Light.

The headlight purifier system has to be fitted in every car with xenon lights in Germany. The government passed that law. <P>Some time ago, the xenon lights have been anounced in Germany as available for all engines. Unfortunately, they reduced the offer to the two most powerful petrol turbo engines.
