I''ve seen a highline without R-Line in Melbourne and it still looked nice.

My wife is already sick of it. The amount of times we've been driving or walking, and mid conversation I'll interrupt her and point at a Tiguan I've just spotted, and then start rambling on about it :)

LOL, I parked my R-line in a side road of a slightly remote coastal village. A SUV drives into the road, stops on the other side of the road on a parking lot. We walk away towards the main road. I turn around and see the SUV now parked directly behind my car, a woman walking around my car, she notices me watching her, sticks up her hands in an apologetic way, points at the car with a face of amazement...

Thanks Roddy.. Only just saw this and had to go double check and then double check again :) Yeah its the photo :phew:

Cruise control performance/accuracy? I'm currently driving an M-B A200d, and expect to upgrade to a 140 Highline Tig by the end of the year. One of the things I love about the cruise control in the Merc is that, when cruising down long hills, it is smart enough to very gently apply the brakes to prevent over-running beyond the target speed. This means that the cruise control can easily maintain the target speed +/- about 2kmh going up or down almost any hills. No freakin' speeding fines or demerit points worries for me!

The cruise control in my previous Golfs (most recently a Mk 6 GTD) could not apply the brakes so it would often over-run the target speed down hills. Can someone with a new Tig please confirm whether the cruise control holds speed accurately going down hills?

Superb on the ones I test drove. Good to +/- 2 km/h on steep hills.
