Still confused!

Anyone know the difference between the HST pack and the XS Style Pack as well as the sports styling kit in terms of exterior appearance of the car.

I am drawing near to the date where I will be ordering my car and still have not made up my mind.

It appears that the XS model has an interesting package available (XS STYLE PACK) which includes:
19 inch 7-Split Spoke Alloy Wheel - Sparkle Silver finish, Seats - Alcantara® and Napoli Leather with electric driver's adjustment including height and recline, manual lumbar support and passenger's recline (6/4-way), Spoiler - Tailgate mounted, Steering Wheel - leather with controls for audio system and cruise control, Veneer - Matrix Metallic (metallic effect)

At my dealer about two weeks ago I got a quote for the sports styling bodykiton the XS. What is the difference between the two? Does the new style pack include the HST grill ( I really like it )

If the XS style pack is available here in Cyprus it seems like a good deal rather than the sports styling bodykit.

Sorry for bombarding with questions but all this transition from the 08 to the 09 model is causing me a lot of dilemmas and confusion!

By the way...anyone know whether the Alaska white can be ordered with white door handles instead of the black ones.

Going by what you've posted for the XS style pack, the only external bits are the 19in wheels and the roof spoiler, the rest are internal. The honeycomb grill is not included but you could always buy separate. Do a search on the Body Styling pack, to see the full list of external bits it comes with, but will include honeycomb grill, front spoiler, side skirts, rear bumper, roof spoiler and exhaust tips. BTW, this is UK spec. but not entirely sure of the 09 updates.

Oh, and since you're in living in a lovely, sunny country, I would go for white. Phil

Do you need sat nav in Cyprus? If not the HSE might be a little excessive? At work

Actually, satnav will be operational in cyprus later on this year. However given the size of the island it is not a must and i totally agree with you CG.

Will probably go with the XS model after all... I am just trying to figure out a way to get the XS style pack and still get the full body kit...

I think it is do-able through the purchase of the xs style pack and add the separate body parts like side skirt, honeycomb grill, front bumpers etc...

White would make sense in your climate, but I guess there are a lot of white cars in Cyprus so why not stand out and choose black . If you can mainly park your car in the shade then black wont often be a problem, conversely is its always in the sun white is the smart choice.


edit. just voted XS black but drop the fancy stereo and get the sunroof and privacy glass At work
