Delighted to see many of you appreciating the car and others coming around to it. I love it. Curious though perhaps unsurprised about the negativity from some quarters. Have had a read through the totality of the comment thread here and on some of the fb groups and thought a bit about some of the objections and negativity... I thought I might offer a counter in the nature of some perspective to these criticisms?
Some people don’t know a good thing when it’s staring them in the face.
It’s 2025.
It is nice that you are passionate about your purchase but I I would have expected you to appreciate that any design will divide opinion. Each person will judge aesthetic merit in their own way; furthermore, everyone has their own ideas about what represents beauty and is therefore appealing and attractive. As someone who takes photos, I am sure you understand the Golden Ratio and whilst there are some commonalities among the way individuals appreciate a subject, so much of it is down to individual taste and perception.
As for your support of MMC as a company, you are not the only one and many of those people you are addressing have done so for decades and with purchases of many cars and models. So, you are not alone in wishing the business to do well.
If I may say, your post comes across as quite aggressive and struggling to appreciate differences of opinion and aesthetic ideals. This is not the first time you've taken this approach, and tone, and been dismissive of Morgan cars prior to the CX. TM is a great place to share opinions and have a civilised conversation; however, preaching, taking an argumentative stance and belittling other people's choice of a car, less so. I read the Pistonheads thread last night and that seems far more worthy of your approach, as do some of the comments on the various YouTube videos. With TM, you seem to be preaching to the choir and picking a fight with people who have owned Morgans for a very long time, supporting the company in the process, all because some of them have a differing idea of what is attractive to you.
