Sorry if this has already been posted, but I found Car & Driver's comparo of a Morgan and V8 Vantage rather odd. The first 8 minutes are about Morgan and the Aston finally appears about 8:03 or so. What do you guys think?

Seen it before but it is interesting
I own an S and tet drove the Aero when I was buying
Two very different animals
Even with the modern materials and skin the Aero is still "old school" as is the way with Morgans
Interior and front end are an acquired taste

Although I wouldn't buy one, the Morgan is kind of cool. They need to do better with the in dash stereo though. Looks like something out of the '80s!

That's bang up to date for Morgan
Here's their latest model (No seriously!)

An '80s look is far too modern for a Morgan! (I had a '71 Plus 8 for many years and miss it badly.)
