Will explain this to swmbo when she returns. Anyone prepared to give odds on the man maths holding up?


Top man-maths.

I reckon you need to get onto the Honda Jazz configurator and spec one up to a price that is 1/3 that of the Mog, and show that to swmbo

That way, she can see that the price differential is identical.

Looks better with wire wheels and can't do with those huge ugly rear blanking plugs so spare wheel + Luggage rack needed.

Will the side windows fit behind the seats as they do in the present Plus 4 I wonder? - Not a fan of putting them in the luggage rack.

It does look right as a car , as said an electric version would be very interesting.
Overall I think MMC have done a great job.

Maybe the future electric Mog will be called the 4/4

4 wheels, range 4 miles!

Or maybe 4 phase which would be a new one.

It looks everything one would want, I just need to drive one, but my feeling is that it will be super.
Interesting that they had to dial back the torque for the manual box.
Well done MMC, now we just need to wait for the road test impressions!

But that is complaining at a high level. Put a Motolita in it and its a good looking car.



Thanks - that's a helpful comparison.

It's also a little unfair as the 'real' trad pictured has the 9-stud hood which always flatters the silhouette of the car when stowed whereas the easy-up looks awkward.

At first glance, I don't mind the more obvious nose-down attitude of the CX car, it makes it look purposeful. The fact that the doors are longer and the screen appears a tad taller are all good selling points for the swmbo

The green car would appear to be an earlier short door model so not necessarily a direct comparison in present day terms.
