My Aero stays in the garage because of where Morgan has been, probably not where Morgan is going.


I very much agree with this. To me, the Aero8 is similar to the Porsche 964/993 RS on several dimensions: Fairly basic/lightweight with plenty of driving feel (for some, race inspired) in a package that "they don't make like this anymore." Porsche changed direction with their GT3s (i.e. making the cars more GT-like) and it seems as if Morgan has done something similar with the current models.
