They could call it the Smaero (small Aero) or Weero (for the Scottish market) Paero (petit Aero,French market) or Lite Luft (Norway)

"Minaero" for Italy? To be presented by a model wearing the minigonna.
Do a Google images search for "minigonna" if you are not sure what it is.

You know why! Because new models mean huge investment and MMC have never been in the position where they can throw money at development and 'hope' the project is a success. It will be fascinating to see how the two platforms develop in years to come (Aero and Classic) but I would imagine it will be an evolution, rather than a revolution (based on the past 100 years  ) As for the names, love them - especially Weero  Anyway, Mr.1560, do I not recall a conversation where you said to me, "WE NEED small engines! These large (V6!) are too expensive in Belgium!" Even if you got your wish, I wouldn't want to see a Flintstone powered MiniAero

Morgan offer a range don't they? From 1600cc to over 4000cc. Nobody is forced to buy a bigger engined car. Perhaps I've missed the point. It happens.  Personally speaking, I don't find the V6 3.7 overpowered, it's got plenty of 'woof' and suits 3rd gear driving with a good level of torque to play with. It's not an engine you have to wring every last ounce out of to get it hustling along.
