Surely the whole 'point' of a Morgan is to experience the feel and sensation of a vintage car.
By adding modern conveniences and refinements it just becomes another car, albeit one that looks ok and leaks........


I can only speak for Porsche, but you would be amazed how much of the car is built by hand and shocked how little isn't. All the leather and stitching is by hand and the fitment. Engine, chassis etc, all done by hand. Whilst robots and machines are there to help with the heavy lifting, there isn't much that is actually built by hand that say goes into a Morgan. Just saying, wink

With that said, I have driven the CX a few times now and a few weeks ago I spent a considerable amount of time sitting in the MY23 updated version. At first I was quick to pass judgment that I didn't see where the extra costs went, however, after sitting there for a bit more time I did not want to get out. The upgrades, IMHO, massively elevate the cabin and dare I say, has me second guessing if I should get one. In short, it just felt like it was in another league compared my first try at a CX. It's amazing what some lower dash padding, a satisfying push/pull knobbed glovebox and updates to the veneers can make.

Lastly, I had the joy of spec'ing my 4/4 and also two 718 Boxster variants. I found the commissioning process of the Porsche to be a notch above the Morgan in regards to how Porsche goes about it. Sadly the Porsche is gone and what kept the 4/4 safe was the emotional attachment I have with it. However, it was the Porsche that I grabbed the keys to first to the point the MOG hardly was used. Hence looking at the CX to replace the 4/4. It's the mental barrier of a 4cyl CX costing more than a GTS 4.0 Boxster that has me sitting where I am at. Or, better still, a 2.5 S Boxster which leaves me with 10k in the bank!
