I agree DaveW.
At some stagethe profitability would plateau out as trad volumes decline. How many younger people would buy them? The niche market is a precarious one.
I think the reintroduction of thd M3W gave MMC a boost to help maintain volume/profit but on a relatively short term only. A good move too despite the less than perfect development work (seemed a rush).
It reminds me of the Triumph Acclaim scenario.....interim collusion with Japanese to ease decline and allow time for newer models to be developed.
I hope MMC can continue the current trad for a long time as an option. Not thatI think the tradis doomed!
Too many ifs and buts in the equation.
