It would be like asking if people prefer the headlights on a S1-2 over a S3-4 for example ?
I'm with you on that. I know when I was looking for an Aero 8 last year I would have loved an S3/S4 front end with the S1 rear.....but the S3/S4 front end won over the S1 rear.
I have to admit to not being a fan of the SS or Coupe rear end. To me it looks like the abdomen of a large spider!!! I've considered getting myself a Coupe but not sure I can love the rear end!!
Beauty is clearly in the eye of the beholder I guess.......wouldn't do if we were all the same (odd really, as MOG owners we're clearly already in a niche and that niche is further divided by our likes/dislikes!).
