Received MogMag this morning.
The manin feature is a lengthy Eulogy to the Aero...but it goes on to imply that there is a new car in the wings, based on Aero Technology and ends with an invitation to "Watch this space next month"
To me it all reads "the Aero is dead, long live the Aero"!!

Adds more indication that this is a substantial change to the line up, can't wait.

There is a MMC teaser advertisment on the back cover of Mog Mag. It is very Aero like, there seems to be an air vent on the upper surface of the wing between wheel arch and bonnet, as on the Supersport.
But it may not be a photo of the actual car...

Exciting!
I do hope after all these teasers it does turn out to be something a bit different from the current Aero models - not just a superficial re-badging and a slightly different powerplant

As I've said before, a SUV...
Look at the photo on MogMag, it seems to have 2 horizontal splitters...

I do think though that the trad fans are being neglected. Or is it just me?

There is also a picture of a clay model inside the rear cover and a few comments at the end of the aero article. Full report planned in next months MOG.
My guess is that due to financial/time constraints, it will be a cost reduced aero chassis with a new engine and some styling changes. Hints in MOG are that it may well remain a V8?

I agree! the Trad is neglected by MOG. Is MOG (MMC?) bored, fed up, or just embarrassed by the Trad? if you look at the numbers - and the photos say Bicester or shelsley - the Trad is overwhelmingly the most popular.

Why should there be a new version of a trad every year? Last year the GDI engined Plus 4 was launched...so hardly being ignored. And the factory appreciate that it is the mainstay of the Company.
MOG is NOT MMC by the way!
