A customer of mine has bought Maserati Quattoporte and a Lexus LS 600h this year but I can't laugh, Elise just missed the cut at 57 sold - and I bet at least half were dealer 'demonstrators'

The Plus 8 is ambitiously priced, so its no surprise that orders are on the slow side. On the bright side though, the fewer they make, the better the residuals.
And there's an "austerity in progress" if nobody at MMC has noticed........ Many dealers that I have spoken with say that the Plus 8 is a great car but performance wise it does not feel appreciably faster that the Roadster for the extra 30 grand. Compared to the Plus 8 the Roadster is an absolute bargain.

It's truly insulting to journalists to call that article "journalism". What a lazy, poorly researched and irrelevant piece of writing.
The worry I have is that as more and more people give up paying for their newspapers on the basis that one can read it all on the net for free, we're all in for more and more of this sort of tripe; traditional reporting will wither and die on the vine.

The Morgan +8 and Aero Supersports don't sell as well as a Vauxhall Astra or the VW Golf?
I'm deeply shocked!

It never ceases to amaze me how people can actually sit and write drivel and get paid for doing it!! Oh.....hang on a minute......isn't that what E.L.James did (Fifty Shades of Grey)!!!
