I've had a bit of a search but as usual i'm impatient.

Long story short, the Mrs's dad wants a new car, he's thinking of a c200 mer station wagon, i'm trying to convince him to go a stag (mercs are nice and all, but you pay alot for a name).

Problem is it needs to meet atleast a certain mark on the luxury specs.

I noticed on the 350 cruise last friday that someones ( i think it was yours Andy) had the same leather/suede seats as my 350gt premium has in it. I cant seem to find any pics of any other stags with this tho so i dont know if its a factory option.

Can anyone advise? Ideally i want to suggest an M35 with a 25det 4wd and all luxury bells and whistles. Auto is preferred i think.

I can answer you. If you are after swede seats, the only model is the Axis (or Axis S). They were released in 2004 to 2006, while 2007 it was discontinued.

Unfortunately, you cannot import a VQ25DET after 2003. So your only engine option is the VQ35DE.

Here's what the seats look like.

bah i'm getting myself ass end up again i tihnk...

ok so let me get this straight, the seats above are from the 04 to 06 axis/axis s? but the vq25det importing stopped at 03??

according to the m35 info sticky theres no compliancing for the vq35's yet is that still right??

The sticky needs to be updated as you can import/comply and register VQ35's now. Just check my sig, that's where you can buy them from. :)

With the seats, apparently, the 04 models had these in the Axis, then in 05 to 06, they had these seats in the Axis S, while the Axis model had the full tan premium leather seats, which imo looks (and I bet it feels) darn nicer.

Hi Simon

The 2 you saw on Friday were both ARX's and they have a tan Nisleather trim. (I think that is code for slightly recycled leather).

The PM35 is a great option the motor is very similar to the V35 you know already and the interior is a little more contemporary.

Cheers

Andy

nice... like the black arx with the tan... might show him that one.

Red350 RX4 is nice too... oh and the bathurst... but only if you throw it in as a freebie :)

Heh Andy my mind must be playing tricks on me. i could have sworn you had v35 premium seats in yours. oh well... no biggylooks like the current offerings are pretty nice.

    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
