A somewhat obvious observation maybe but just reading through the posts, both here and on PH, this debacle has raised all the negatives - The Aero (personally I am not a fan and would buy alternative if I could afford it) but previously a design icon is now 'a mistake'.Dealers, previously thought (at least by me) to be loyal to MMC are now 'at war with the company'. Build quality, questions always there for sure but now a serious 'credibility issue', reliability once thought of as something almost mythical, you thought it might breakdown but in fact it rarely did, is now 'a reason not to purchase'. M3W, previously a somewhat surprising success story now has 'dangerous flaws'. I could go on but you get the picture, we are all in danger of talking this great British marque into the dust and the company are completely responsible for the current state of affairs - personally I don't want the 2015 Christmas special edition of Top Gear to be racing some new Chinese sports cars around a disused factory site in the Malvern Hills.
