Owns. https://twitter.com/morganmotor/status/1423208095291949059?s=20 https://www.morgan-motor.com/morgan-forges-a-new-path-with-plus-four-cx-t/ Sucks: quote:Tempted? Well, just eight will be built, all to be finished before the end of 2021 and priced at £170,000 plus local taxes. For that, you’ll be able to sit down with Morgan’s design team to tailor the specification to your exact desires.

It'd be cool if Mazda made a relatively affordable 2-door EV sport coupe. Do what the Miata did for affordable sports cars in the 90s.

I'm waiting for the second portion of the patents for the front half. I want to see how much longitudinal room there is between the engine frame rails.

Not to tamp excitement but filling patents is cheap and it's more of a legal protection than an indicator of product direction.

Their across the board push upmarket makes this less likely IMO. I'm thinking more like halo car, the way the RX-7 was for the brand (Eunos etc aside)

It's not an awful way to spend a lazy day, especially if you're thinking about buying a new car. There's no other way to effectively move from one manufacturer's car to another's.

I used to go to the Detroit show every few years, but now that some manufacturers are sitting it out, the value drops off fast. Usually there are only a few cars I really want to look at. Missing even one starts to make it faster to just visit dealers.

On par with gendering or naming cars with human names. I hope its something that dies with the outgoing generation. McTinkerson posted:It's fun to harass Mitsubishi North America. "Wow I love how you guys lovingly restored this decade old Lancer!" New cars don't really do it for me, or halo cars treated like a rare painting and never used, nor do the kind of cars that the owner pays others to keep for them. The kinda people that puts their own time and effort into an aging ride? yeah that can be the good kinda show. Character and stories.

A lot of car yards are able to be walked through by the public after hours here (Is that the case in the US?) and sure cant sit inside but you can have a very good casual look uninterrupted.

It's probably technically trespassing but most dealership lots are open enough that you can walk up and look around when they're closed. Sometimes they don't even lock all the doors  I've sat in a 370Z and a Veloster while visiting closed dealer lots.
