No doubt about it, the cx is the better car in terms of driving. But I also found, that it has not quite the character, the trads always gave to me. But I had a lot of fun with the cx car and I would really be thinking seriously about collecting a plus 4, if the price increase wouldn´t be that steep. An increase of 20% would be ok with me, if you see the new chassis and the materials, that are now standard (like the hood for example), even if I don´t need and want most of them. But to get a new car here in Germany, I have to spend around 60% more than in 2018 for my gdi +4! And this is just ridiculous in my view!
And I know, you should not have another hero beside your Morgan, but it must be allowed to look at other little cars and compare. By ordering a 718 Porsche you get a 300 hp convertible with an really incredible chassis (sorry Morgan, but in real live this is still another world in terms of driving!) and outstanding build quality. And you save at least around € 20.000.- to a plus 4. So to me, as a Morgan driver for over 30 years, this gets now a little bit unrealistic. And, as I just learned, prices will rise again in March and some dealers start to whine, because they are not selling their cars as easily as before. It seems, that they scare away quite a few old Morgan drivers with their pricing.
But in summary I was very pleased with the new cx and an trad +8 carb and a cx plus 4 would be looking great in my garage. ;-)
