I think that the Roadster Sport starts from a different idea than the 4/4 Sport: the latter doesn't have a spare wheel, no possibility to have accessories, in order to have a lightweight car.
The Roadster to me seems more an edition made with a pre-chosen number of combinations in order to get customers to choose only within a range. All in all it seems to me a MY10 of the Roadster, which is somehow right to have because of the new engine. But I presume that the same engine will be used on normal Roadsters, or at least it'll be possible to get the extra 20 hp by a proper exhaust system, as it was until now with the 200 hp engine.
I'm a bit worried about the pricing of this car, is it going to be more expensive than an equivalent-fitted Roadster? Why?
I would have imagined that in change of a reduction in the number of options you could get a better price. One thing I liked about Morgans is the possibility to customize them down to the last bolt. Now with this variant you have only a bunch of colours, 1 interior colour, 1 hood colour, black wheels (which to me seems really unclassy) and black grille.
Also in the interior, this dash with a net to close the glovebox seems really poor (not racing, simply poor). Maybe I'm a bit overreacting here, but the "Sport" variant should be more a lightweight fast animal, rather than a simple combination of colours.
Does anyone know when the new prices for the normal Roadster and the Sport variant?
I noticed at the Milan dealer of Morgan a white Roaster (my09) with green interior and hood...this seems much nicer than the Sport to me, but I'd like to understand where the new models place themselves in term of equipment and prices.
