I only have parking for two cars and the Murano will stay as family car.

True, but over there in Europe it's just too expensive. What makes it really interesting is the competitive price here.

Busted for a remap Maybe you should keep the limiter then

As ever, the most fun with this car will be on mountain roads around corners, and there you will never approach the limit anyway, and on track, and the limiter gets lifted there, if I understand correctly??

Get it, get it!!!!!

Re: Please stop me before it's too late!

BF - further to my earlier suggestion.

I had another thought.

After flogging the Nissan at 3-4months for a profit, there's a fair chance your Maser would still be at the dealers. Depreciating of course, so you can buy it back for less than you sold it as they'd be keen to move it if it was still on their books! You make money on both ends of the deal.

Win-win-win!

Get it and foreget the naysayers.

this is one of those cars that truly raises the bar in performance, and blows away all it's competition efortlessly.

A legend in the making, I'll wager.

Nothing is faster (or more dangerous) than a sales rep in a hurry.
