Interesting the variation in opinion.. (-:

Perhaps, I failed to put my point across well... My sense of logic referred to the evolutionary process moving along with the times as best the MMC could... while still in the minds of some seemingly standing still... ? (-:

If one looks close enough it seems that the Trad evolved to match regulatory changes, or do you not consider the necessary adoption of EFI as a process of change, followed on by the need to fit cats, even air con, piped leather upholstery, longer doors , and loads more changes to match market and regulatory requirements, all that over the years prior to the emergence of the CX design changes, followed on by yet further necessary modernisation in the form of the Supersport.... Or did no one notice...Really..?

And I thought I was the Luddite....(-:
