That's a very eloquent essay, Spencer, thanks for that. I just want to comment on one detail of what you said, but it's something I was thinking about yesterday. When the Aero range came out 25 years ago, it was a really different car on a completely new chassis. All the Aero variants up to the Aeromax were coherent and great looking in my view, even if I wasn't a big fan of the very last open Aero. When the BMW Plus 8 was derived from the Aero platform in 2011 or so, it was certainly a good idea on the one hand, because prospective buyers could have the more modern car with the traditional shape. But to be honest, and I'm not saying this for the fun of criticising, but because I noticed it again and again when I looked at it, the then new Plus 8 always looked a little bit inharmonious to me, e.g. the angle of the sloping rear end, the vehicle width in relation to the length and some other points. To pick up on the words, it was that one per cent that wasn't right but was so important. You could feel that an Aero had to put on a different dress, which didn't fit so well and where the jacket looked a bit baggy here and there. Now, with the brand new Supersport, I have the positive impression that it was developed the other way round. Initially, they offered a traditional car on the new CX plattform. But I wouldn't be surprised if the design of the CX platform had already given some thought to other shapes. Be that as it may, what I really like about the Supersport is that it looks like a unified whole and that it doesn't seem like a compromise for a given platform. I already like the whole car a lot better today than I did yesterday especially the rear but also the front, and that's just 24 hours to get away from the familiar traditional look (which I of course keep liking on it’s own).
