Hi all,

This morning (Jan 1st), the Dutch Autoweek Magazine (www.autoweek.nl) mentioned that they are going to test the XE before the end of the month in Spain....

The show is about to start!

That's awesome news. It will be nice to finally get a review. I am expecting that the XE will be liked by reviewers, but I suppose that you never know...

excellent, I'm hoping we get a few in snowy conditions as well!

I expect that the XE will do fine in the snow, but it will be nice to see for sure. The drive modes should be up to the task of taking on winter weather conditions.

It takes very little for it to do well in the snow anyways.


My 90's civic made it fine, even through the worst of it all

this is true, there's really not much too it.

most of it comes down to the tires you have along with how you drive in it.
of course if you have some super powerful RWD vehicle then trying to hook in the snow will be hard.

It looks the first reviews will come real soon now....

Awesome.
Looks like we're seeing two different trims in that picture by the looks of the wheels on them.

 

[Marc]

Are the white one's XE's? They look different....

The grey and red look like R-Sport trims... The weels of the red and white really look great....19"... hmm, maybe time for a small adjustment to my order
