Looking at the front suspension area, it appears that the area between the upper wishbones is a cast aluminium piece. This would be in keeping with the CX theme. Does this mean that the rear suspension arm will be a cast aluminium one sided unit making removal of the rear wheel so much easier?

With it being a lot lower it should open it up to the wrinkly market ingress and egress wise, and not quite as shouty as the previous model. Are you implying that no wrinkly people drive the outgoing model?  Surely being lower makes it worse for wrinklies?  Then again being wider will surely help. And being a 4 stroke engine they may *shock* *horror* end up with an automatic 3 wheeler :o

Automatic three wheeler - wash your mouth out... but if that "enables" just one yearning customer it will be a really good step forward

This image along with a description has been posted this morning on LinkedIn by MMC: ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2021/09/02/7F077788-0E8E-4568-9E70-9FE530C40C9C.jpg) Looks a bit like Millbrook test track, Alpine route

That wouldn't even surprise me. In the case of four-wheelers, a few years ago for Morgan enthusiasts, Morgans with automatic transmission, air conditioning and power steering would have been completely unthinkable ...

Think I will stick with my present one thank you 😊 Likewise. I wish them luck, but I don’t get it. For me the M3W was about the retro character with the raw v-twin out front and sidepipes, like the original Aero. This is more sanitised and as Morgan say, will appeal to a wider market. But will they buy it or opt to spend a bit more on a more useable Plus 4? I certainly would.

A shame they couldnt see their way clear to a shaft drive Guzzi V twin powered option, or even a BMW boxer shaft driven , might have satisfied all parties with no whine. Still I think the new one will look OK with a trad waterfall grille, but that ground clearance ??

If MMC is true to its word, the current 3W pays homage to the past and the next one breaks the mold. I'd like to find a reason to own both.
But given the factory-ignored issues of the current genre, I'll be in no hurry.
