That looks lovely.

Be interesting to see how you think it compares to a late L322 as an L405 will probably be what we get rid of our 4.4 AB for when the time comes.

Y. O. L. O.

I did 200 miles in it today - mainly motorway.

First impressions:
* The driving experience is first class
* It turns in with much greater confidence
* There is much less wallow
* It is particularly noticeable when entering a fast sweeper or a roundabout - in the L322, the car would lean out but the L405 tracks flat
* Steering feel sharper as a result
* Economy is well up - I got 34mpg in some relaxed, mixed and spirited driving
* The ride on 21" is at least as good as the L322 on 20" - I'd actually rate it higher but I'm not sure if that is wishful thinking
* Road and wind noise is marginally better
* The seats are comfortable - at least as good
* The massage seats are good at keeping you alert
* The interior is a very nice place in which to spend time
* The interior is simpler at first glance but there are many more functions (although they are difficult to access - buried in menu systems)
* The dash binnacle is quite a bit "busier" (digital speedo added, the needles go behind the numbers now, the needle fade out at the end, etc.) with less nice graphics - but at last with your music and satnav info (yay!)
* I prefered the old graphics on the late L322 satnav (and the old one told you how far to your next turn off when on a motorway - you have to change view on the new one to see that)
* Traffic is better integrated into satnav (tells you where the problems are and allows you which to choose to avoid)
* It still doesn't support Siri on iPhone that I could find at least (grr!)
* The voice commands are more reliable but are still as complex (grr!)
* I was annoyed that the centre cubby box is much smaller and that the sunglasses holder above the rear view mirror had gone
* However, there is more storeage overall - there are two door bins (one ideal for sunglasses) and the two gloveboxes are both bigger than the old ones

A beaut one of the best looking new ones I've seen really really nice  _____________________________________________________

Lovely car and an excellent, helpful, old versus new comparison at a time when your outgoing L322 is still fresh in memory.
