AMV8 2007 Model - Any Significant Changes?

[SXO]

Spoke to a dealer today who advised he can get me a AMV8 for September / October which will be a "07 model" and has some changes from the this year's car including new or revised seats. Anyone know much about changes / tweaks in the 07 model ?

Also, for those AMV8 owners who sometimes listen to music and not the car's own soundtrack, is the upgraded Alpine stereo worth the extra cost? I heard less than positive comments about the music system in the DB9 (Linn?) - is the Alpine better?

[Twin Turbo]

Visit www.amoc.org and get onto the New Era forum.....the '07 model is discussed there, along with pics of the seats.

Twin Turbo is spot on, but just in case you can't AMOC it......

The rest from kind AMOC guy called Dave...........

Hello all,
I've managed to come by some information on the changes to the V8 for model year 2007 for UK cars - which will be August/September build onwards I would think:
- Full leather now standard (cloth will now never be an option I believe)
- Vehicle Tracking System now standard (UK only) - note this is not the Tracker Horizon currently offered but a different model of tracker.
- Memory seats are now an option
- Auto-dimming rear view mirror is now an option
- Garage door opener is now an option
- The seats have changed style (I've seen a pic, look OK, not as nice as original IMO - still Recaro I believe. The blurb says 'new design of seat offering a sporty, lightweight look') - standard
- Head thorax side airbag now standard
- The seat heating is now dual stage (guess there was only 1 heat setting before??) - still an option
- Twin lumbar adjustment (two separate lumbar adjustments in front seats) - standard
- High level electric seat release (improve access to area behind front seats) - standard
- Occupant Classification Sensing (OCS) (Automatic switching for passenger airbag. Not with passenger seat height adjustment)
- 19" alloy wheels with painted anthracite finish now an option (have seen a pic, look nice I think)
- Sports tyres (Pirelli P-Zero Corsa) are now an option (only on 19" wheels)
- Front stone guards (read mudflaps) are now an option
- LED's in external door handles (illuminate to indicate position of door handle when entering car) - standard (not seen a pic of this yet though)
- Key fob boot release (boot pops open when boot unlock button is pressed twice) - standard
- Revised battery disconnect switch functionality (battery reconnected when key in ignition (no need for separate re-connect switch))
I believe the UK price for model year 2007 build cars will be around £82800 or so

Standard sound system very good, you need ask the other guys that have heard both about the upgrade>
