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.
