You’ve absolutely nailed it here. It’s not a new 718, it’s a totally different design and driving philosophy. To my eye, it’s functionally an 80-100k restomod made brand new just for you. I’d challenge anyone to find an equivalent for even twice the price. They’re fantastic and beautiful cars. This whinging, while perhaps as British as Morgan itself, has got to be a real drain for those partaking. You only have so many orbits around the sun. This is an unnecessary, low-to-no utility toy, that exists to spark smiles, share beauty, and drive joyfully. Any calculus for measuring the car built on solely quantifiable metrics at the expense of the unquantifiable poetry of a car like this completely misses the point. If pound for pound comparisons is what you’re after and your abacus isn’t balancing up and causing you to furrow your brow and shake your head disapprovingly, perhaps look elsewhere. If you want to smile more, laugh more, and invite more joy and romance into your driving, I can think of no suitable alternative to these new Morgans.
