Hi Rich
Its a shame that seeing that the Ride review was based on the new about to be launched 08/09 models, that they couldn't, or maybe you could here, make reference to improvements over the previous models, especially as the two models tested seem to carry the same product names as models in the previous line up? Also, will the "new" Active-Duo be the top of the range or were Autocom so secretive that they would only let them test these two models out of the new line-up before its launch?
In my industry when new products are launched reviews appear many months previous to the product actually becoming available, thus giving purchasers the imformed decision as to whether to buy the current models at heavily discounted prices or to wait and pay extra for worthwhile features and advances in any new range.
Why do Autocom have to be so secretive? If it weren't for UKGSer's posts rating the company's product so highly over the competition, I would have long ago given up on my daily battle of do i buy a good proven product now at a greatly discounted price now, or do i wait to buy a better product at a worthwhile premium but with the new model maybe suffering the teething glitches of rushed to production electronic items? The thing is either way Autocom win don't they? They clear a good product at a discount and sell a (hopefully) much better product at a premium
Maybe now that stocks of the previous sale models are low or none existant, Autocom might start to tell us the features of the new models?
I hope I'm not being too cynical in my thoughts but the Ride reviews don't seem to point to any new features and certainly don't mention the word digital?
Cheers,
Terry
