Just to put some context into the pricing. Honda have announced the latest version of the Jazz today - starting price £18.5k - now that is expensive. When my 4/4 was new, it cost 3 x Honda Jazz. The new Plus Four costs 3.4 x Honda Jazz - making the Plus Four a bargain. Will explain this to  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 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.

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!

As a die-hard trad lover I must say it looks much better than expected. Good they don`t use the clunky Plus Six mudguards and resist to mount low-profile wheels. The steering wheel is realy ugly. The bonned lowers too much towards the front. ![[Linked Image]](https://up.picr.de/37995456in.png) The old +4 lines: ![[Linked Image]](https://up.picr.de/37995473yl.jpg) 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

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