If I may dream and fantasise a little. Firstly, I don't know how far the development of the CX models had progressed before the Bonomis took over MMC. But somehow I have the impression that they are holding up a mirror to the company with this breathtaking Plus8 developed for the Rally. In just three cars they are investing in a development that could have outlived the entire Trad series. I know, modern engines have to fit in etc. They might even have come up with an evolutionary improvement for the rear axle. All in all, I can't help thinking that the Bosonis have a thing for the Trads.
This is not to say that the CX models are not well adapted to our times once the teething troubles have been sorted out. But the Bonimi approach would have been much cheaper.
