Oh well, they didn't do it, what next?

Nope it was overturned. That's just devalued alot of people's cars! maybe the RS will survive as it's specialist but everything else has been killed off.

I have digested this and it appears that 3/01-3/06 cars have escaped the huge rises.

It looks like £215 for 2009/10 and £245 for 2010/11

here is the info direct from the governent, check pages 134-135 and look at the table on 135, it's important to read the note tagged with ** as this is crucial - basically cars over 225 g/km registered 01-06 pay the same as 201-225 cars.
This will ALSO help B7 owners who have cars registered before 23/3/06

I feel sorry for all those people who sold their gas guzzlers on the basis that their road tax was going to double next April - SUCKERS!

..and have bought a Citroen C1

From what I can work out a B7 S4/RS4 up to 23/3/06 is quite attractive, in warranty, big depreciation, V8 wuffle and same tax as TT and fuel is cheap for the mo...
