Every so often I wonder how an auto with paddles would be but every time I think of it I decide I just can't see it in a trad. I would be happy with an auto box in an Aero but I would never consider an Aero (or Plus 8) for various reasons.

Wouldn't it be great if Morgan produced something along the lines of an Aero with an affordable 6 (or perhaps even better a turbo 4) putting out 250hp with an auto, paddle shift, traction control and ABS (if you have ABS you might as well have traction control too). I know to some that this is blasphemy but I'm sure there would be a queue to place orders if it could be done at a reasonble price.

Oh! And whilst they are doing the design they could ditch the weird forward opening boot and design an "easy-up" concealable hood (or pinch the design from Mazda/Fiat) hide
