I think we are also seeing a transition from trads to CX, I was at a noggin the other week and a few of us were gathered around my car with some being trad owners, and they were all for the transition across,to a CX but found that there weren't enough automatic CX at the moment on the used market None of the those, I was chatting to, wanted a manual CX, as most of them had mobility issues usually around the clutch operation
..It could just be a case of like minded people gathering together like bees around a honey pot, but I wasn't surprised, the direction the discussion took , as they all made the point an automatic will keep them in the brand for much longer.
Your comments endorse my comment on the older brigade being in transition physically, combined with the necessary invention of new young customers more used to electric scooters and manicured nails is the only future for MMC.
So the raw Trads will vanish and hang in the market just like their owners - myself included in (75) there - I won't be selling or transitioning once the manual V8 and 4/4 Sport are not possible that's it for me the end of a wonderful unadulterated experience (thirty something years now) which I have been so lucky in many ways to be able to tap into and still service and repair is all part of (painful) joy of ownership for me.
HFS pure genius.
