I don't think so. Plus Six has always had a bit of a problem in that for many drivers it's a bit overpowered, many of them seem to me to have been pranged in ways which might not have happened if the driver was in a Plus Four. As a result, I suspect obtaining affordable insurance is starting to be an issue.

For many purchasers, the Plus Four is bound to be a more attractive option being much more affordable, having plenty of usable power, and being much less likely to wrap you round a tree if you get it wrong.

The new Supersport doesn't appear to have a shortage of orders yet. As MMC move up-market the sales volumes are bound to drop, but providing they can maintain decent margins this could well be a good thing. Much better to build 500 cars a year that you can make a decent profit on than build 1000 cars which then bleed you out in warranty costs.
