VERY accurate, based on my 30 mins. It will catch on!
Don't know why Mr Dobie uses the statement, spouted by MMC's bumph that "only the metallic stoppers that hold the Bonet shut" are carried over. I noticed quite a few more bits, including the hand brake lever, the wheels and hubs and the wheel nuts. So yes, Aeromax wheels will fit!!

"4.8 V8 from a bunch of old BMW" apart, a good write up!
No mention of seat height - and the exhaust note is a positive......
Good report...Mark

Well that is good news.
I followed a strong blue Z4 on the way home today, sorry but that is a serious mess. Big blobby and not seemingly related to their other cars. It makes the Plus Six all the more attractive.

Interesting he noted polarised sunglasses kill the digital speedo readout in front of driver (and anything else displayed on the MFD) as I mentioned following my test drive.

Ha ha, is that his day job or was he filling in for a real presenter? Well at least he got the laughter bit right.

I really enjoyed his review (and also that of the M3W). Lot of laughter - that’s what it’s about!!!!! HB

Nice vid! Personally, I don't think the Plus Six looks much wider. Comparing the specs, it should only be less than 2 inches wider, and several inches shorter than the Plus 4 or 4/4.

A nice guy with a review from a normal consumer perspective. No bean counting and no desperately trying comparisons with other cars. He took the Plus6 as it is and accepted it. no one else could present the new target group so well. And he was authentically impressed. So Morgan is still strange and independent enough in a positive sense when it comes to new customers.

Jon, was told by Allon Whites, it's 1" shorter that a trad but definitely wider, by eye from the rear light spacing on the back panel it's more than 2"

It needs to be wider...we are all fatter!  Having sat in a PlusSix the room inside the cockpit - is the first immediate benefit, over a trad. Mark

What did I miss, what does CX stand for ? The difficulty I have with the CX thing is that it means two things to me. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2019/09/19/8D78464B-5A66-4176-BC75-E2C71C35AF16.jpg) and ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2019/09/19/78F64D8C-A632-461A-BC5C-D8BAAC6AB6A4.jpg)

One day someone will look under “what does french mean” on what ever replaces Wikipedia or google and there will be a picture of a DS an SM and a CX. Possibly the 6 wheel print runner estates that used to prowl the nights. They will read it and just say “cool”.

Howard, for Evora money you can buy a PlusSix  I personally would NOT want the Lotus....it looks very similar to so many cars of it's type...I would go Morgan - it is individual  Mark
