I heard that it was being held up at the design stage. Every concept they have come up with so far performs too well in the wind tunnel. Even a completely flat nose was too 'slippery'. I hear they've brought in the very best aerodynamic modelers to try and increase the drag coefficient. One that started out as a 2.4 TDCi 110 XS

I heard that they are having big problems with the ride quality on the SWB version, apparently they aren't getting blurred vision or feeling seasick, just not acceptable Neutral Original Member Pie n Pea Club.

I heard that they are having big issues with the 'B' pillar shoulder push device. Apparently it wont apply enough force to the upper part of the drivers torso to push it towards the centre of the vehicle.

The wiper department are also having difficulties in getting the wipers to 'click' out of sync on the return stroke.

Apparently they're struggling to make the driver's side FFW system (Footwell Foot Wash) optional!
