Regular readers of the forum will doubtless testify to my being a calm and level headed individual but this patronising "hey folks, lets be positive and pretend there's nothing wrong" cr@p is really starting to p!$$ me off
That people are that concerned about the residual value of their cars that they'll never make a disparaging remark, however strongly waranted, really makes me wonder why they'd "invest" in a new car in the first place - surely a used car makes much more sense financially.
I'm assuming (I'm sure you'll correct me if I'm wrong) that most people on here bought their cc for reasons including: a) it's very nice to look at, b) it's great fun to drive and c) it goes a bit.
Those of us with finance agreements can't help but be aware of the future value of the car but, as maximising the driving experience and fun element is of greater importance, we will do whatever is required (including haranguing dealers, hassling Peugeot and yes generally moaning) to ensure whatever problems we encounter are resolved quickly and completely.
Surely the long term success of the cc is dependant on Peugeot getting it right now while the model is still relatively new. They're obviously aware they have problems with the cc, but without feedback from the likes of us or conducting their own research (yeah right, that's going to happen isn't it) they'll never get the true picture.
OK, I promise I've almost finished but there's one last thing I really have to mention; telling people to "only post positive comments" can be regarded as censorship and I don't feel that's appropriate on an open forum such as this.
This post isn't meant as a personal attack on any other forum member but is merely my own point of view, any assumptions I've made as to the views of others are precisely that.
End Rant.

P.S. Robbie, you have a point about the time travel thing but it's a bit early in the morning for me to think of a counter argument
