Actually Robo that makes sense about the Italian market and it does have that look that should appeal to the female market so it should do well there. Does seem a bit of a step backwards if there is no 12 volt charger. Wonder if they will have a matching top box available as well. Hate to admit it but the more I look at it the more I like it but to me the current model with the topbox, glovebox and charger is more appealing.
