Hmm.. Know how you feel... When I test drove the Tuscan (95% finished, in September 2010), it still had the T5 gearbox. It lasted for about a day, then 3rd gear gave in...

Took it back to England, and it's been there since then... Few weeks ago they called that they'll replace the supercharger with a turbocharger as they can't get the 600hp I asked for (out of a 4 liter, NA 400hp racey engine). Wonder how long it'll take this time, before I can drive it again...
