Nice try but, no different.....changing the power plant does not change the car....

Humm not sure I'd agree.

Rover 75 with CDTi lump, wood dash, classic rover inside. (sh!t) vs MG ZT V8, different exterior and interior styling, with Mustang lump. Completely changes the car.

You could argue that the Lotus Carlton as well? No different from standard Carlton?

Nice little car, don't see many about so like the rarity factor but after being used to large cars I think you would soon tire of it despite its performance.

I drove home last night, tired, it was dark, just wanted to get home. Very thankful of V6 + auto + smooth ride.

Suspect I would get tired as you say of it being so small.

Also my commute is mostly motorway/large roads, so again not really suitable. If I had to blat to Reading on the country twisties however, I would consider one.

Er no, the Rover 75 was far from transformed with the V8 and is only an expensive to fuel Rover 75, the Lotus Carlton is just a fast Carlton, it only achieved a cult statement due to just how mad it was....its still a Carlton.

Similarly the Abarth is still a Fiat 500 with a faster engine.

Yes. It made a much nicer noise, but didn't really go any better.

At least they managed to correct the driven wheels, even if the rest of it was a bit lackluster

MY My MGZT 190 would have left any omega for dead and stuck to the corners like glue. Lots of tramlining, unfortunately.
