With all the other overpriced, over designed, over complicated tat they're building you'd think there would be a slot in the production line for an entry level trad chassis car.
I really believe that an 'entry level' car should have been kept in the range. It seems foolish to miss the opportunity to get buyers in to the brand at a more affordable level.
Obviously 'affordability' is all relative. They are expensive and impractical toys.
The usual buyers are middle aged/old men, pensioners who have wanted one for years. I guess that the Italians want a younger buyer.
The newest 3 wheeler doesn't have a CX chassis and I can't believe it complies with whatever EU regulations led to the demise of the trad cars.
I would buy a new trad, but sadly it'll probably never happen and if it did it would probably be humongously expensive!
