Tony, on your four bullet points.....
1. We cant do anything about the British thing sadly, XF are US based....
2. Reputation....I think X-Factory have done themselves proud thus far in the cusotmer service areas etc, certainly on par with any other brand out there IMHO, and we will always continue to add and improve on that from over here in the UK.
3. One-stop-shopping - I did say we are not standing still, wathc this space
4. Similiar answer to three really, but with the additon of hop ups. I ams sure that Schumachers "Speed Secrets" list will be as long as any other manufacturers list of options when the SV gets here, just the same as AE (Factory Team parts) and all other companies, including us at X-Factory who have "optional parts" available. "Maybe" we can include some of these extras in our next project......
The one plus point I beleive we do have at present is that the X6 is "proven". It is reliable, fast and easy to drive (quickly), all of which are not guarrenteed on ANY new car that is on its way from anyone (including the SV) and are assets that have to proven over the course of time......
And as for Chris Doughty's comments........absolutley spot on!!!
Everything goes in trends, one minute somthing is hot, the next minute you cannot give it away! This goes as far to include products, race classes, clubs, brands and hell even down to wheel types and colours!! EVERYTHING goes around full circle time and time again.........
