Well, I think that by the very nature of the M3W, people might be able to deal with the faults and flaws as they come. The Aero, perhaps not so much. I also think the Aeros to a certain degree attract another type of person, perhaps people expecting porsche build quality.
On the other hand, G might just be a grumpy b....., lol.
I don't dispute the grumpy b..... epithet for a minute and I'm also perfectly happy to accept the points that Boshly and I have debated here over a large number of posts but the fact still remains, when MMC built the Aero, they made a step change into their target market and that market expects a different level of reliability, finish, sophistication etc.
Looks-wise, concept-wise I think the Aero was and is a stunning car. In terms of QA and detail, to me it is flawed to such an extent that it just isn't what it sets out to be. That was- and is- a shame but it is the almost inevitable result of a small company not being able to do the development necessary. Hence the dreaded concept of " The Customer Development Car"!
Cheers,
G
