"I also think it interesting that it was only the people with a 'trad' background who were really contributing. That says something as well."

Yes, interesting, but probably not surprising. Surely, by the very nature of the cars, 'Classic' owners are more concerned with looks, and 'Aero' owners more with performance? I would expect more 'Aero' owners to pick up on a rumour that the cars were to be made heavier, and/or with less power.


"I guess (if I was being disingenuous) that some trad buyers are lacking something to do with their days iff they think this is worth getting worked up about...." (sic)

As above; different perspectives.


"However there is a great danger that the negative and in some cases childish reactions (I'm not buying a Morgan ever again = I'm taking my teddy bear home and dont want to play with you again) have damaged the realionship." (sic)

But not much of a relationship if "They are said to be not bothering to listen to the traditional Morgan buyer".
In fact, I thought we had reached a general consensus earlier that genuine, constructive feedback was a good thing - Coke could have saved themselves a few bob had they bothered to do a bit of market research before changing their 'Classic'. Surely the suggestion isn't that only positive comments can be posted?

Manufacturers have the absolute right to dismiss any feedback. To be offended by genuine comments from their customers could, in turn however be considered as petulant?

As to change, yes, it can be good, but some things are just 'right' as they are - I've yet to see a better looking electric guitar than the original 'Strat'. Change for the sake of it can leave us worse off.

Again, IMHO etc. etc.
