I think I saw it when I was at the factory last week. I don't know what the engines is. If it's the one I think it is then it's dark grey and was near my car. That's all I know !

If we assume it is the BMW turbo 4 cylinder the engine will be 2/3rds the length, so leaving quite a bit of space at the front = front/mid engined.
I'd hope the manual box is a no cost option....: would it also be lighter than the auto box?
The B58 engine is offered in a range of power outputs, up to 302bhp. To be honest, if they use the 302 bhp version what is the point of the Plus Six? The 255bhp version would be a better "fit".

Looking at the height off the floor I suspect we have all been hoodwinked. I have been thinking about it and have cracked it.
It is a 4-cyl Turbo off-roader in the manner of the Audi A4 Allroad and Volvo V70 Cross Country. They have added 2 more seats having managed to fix the ISOFIX issue with the new CX chassis.
Also in order to retain the roof-line the rear seats are backwards facing to get the authentic annoying children waving at you from the car in front experience of the old Volvo's.
Yes thats it. a Morgan SUV, or as we can call it the "woody" like the old Morris Minor Woody wagons? Plus (H)Eight maybe?
Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

I was thinking of going to Geneva but since you lot have already disclosed all the surprises I have decided it is not worth the effort  You'll be in quarantine by then..

TBH Peter, I don't think it needs to be even "that" powerful i.e. the 255BHP you suggest? If you take a Trad Plus4 the power plant is circa 150 BHP - so CX 4 cylinder models maybe/should be 200BHP - to keep the PlusSix "the top/fastest model" and priced accordingly?

I think you are right, the headlights under the cover are quite high, it seems to me.
