Hehe. The French wanted the Maginot Line, but the Germans found a way round it.

Anyway, I went for the Modern line. The luxury line was a tad more expensive and I wasn't too fussed about full leather (modern = cloth/ leather in the UK).

The Sports line looks much sportier but isn't actually any quicker and probably appeals to buyers who are younger than me.

I think the idea of lines is a good way to widen appeal, but they didn't execute the idea well enough. For example, only offering the Modern line with an oyster interior forced me to make an uncomfortable compromise (with the mineral white exterior I really like). Annoyingly, the Modern line comes in two interior colours in the USA...one of them being the colour I wanted.
