morgan-motor.com/introducing-the-new-plus-four-plus-six/
The fans of retro-styled sports cars should definitely check out the most recent upgrades to the interior and the powertrains that Morgan Motor Company has introduced to their Plus Four and Plus Six models.
I appreciate the fact that at least Ford produced a convertible price for the masses!
Sadly the Mustang fabric roof will probably suffer the flaws of yesteryear.
I’ve had my Mazda MX5 NC as an everyday car for several years now. I’ve now ordered the 2024 ND3 RS I’ll have to wait 5 months give or take to arrive in Sydney Australia but at least I have an awesome car in the meantime to wait. A true sports car fo a bees dick of the price of price and not pretentious.
I like the Morgan it has a vintage look.
Porsche's Boxster was the "affordable" Porsche when it was introduced. Porsche couldn't resist making just a slightly cheaper 911. $162,000 is way out of my budget.
Great comment. I remember when the Boxster was introduced it was the (relative) bargain Porsche. Now there is not much market difference between the Boxster and the 911.
$162k is top if the line, Boxster start at around $80k. I had a 05 Boxster S for 15 years, gave it to a friend and I got a 16 981 Spyder. 10k miles $89.5k. Buy whatever you can afford.
You left out the Miata! There are two types of people in the world. Those who want a Miata and those who have never driven one.
The video covers new models. As far as I remember, Miata has not seen a significant update in years. Or did I miss any recent Miata-related news?
My brother bought a new Miata then later replaced it with a Corvette convertible, claims he has no regrets for dumping that Miata.
You missed the cream of the crop. Corvette Z06 Convertible.
Yes, it's a good option. Should have added it here too, however I talked about this model in my previous videos
Except for the name, I like the cyberster. Too bad the US will never see one on our shores.😢
The name does sound a bit cartoonish. It was okay for the concept but the production model could have used a more catchy name.
I guess "Spider" or "Spyder" is such a cool name, a lot of car companies use it for their models. LOL
It looks like many carmakers are just now using it as a synonym to roadster/convertible
I love my 2021 Porsche Carrera S cabriolet, with 7 speed manual. It’s a 10%-er car that is sublime for driving the back roads and by-ways at speed with comfort.
But these ICE convertibles while you still can. The idea of a two seater convertible with an actual engine is under attack and it represents freedom.
Yes, EVs are getting more common and manufacturers are really serious about phasing out their ICE powertrains.
Don't be fooled by this electric car fad. Never will be enough electricity to power every car on the road. ICE engines that can be personally modified to the real car enthusiasts taste will always prevail. Won't be that long down the line when auto manufacturers and buyers of electric cars realize that they were played for as fools. That being said, if a person wants to deal with the issues that go along with electric cars then buy one. I for one as a 'car guy' will stay with the ICE engine.
@@papajohn96 that’s what I said.
Bring the MG Cyberster to the US and I will buy it.
Had a 1978 MGB back in my college days (1984-88). I have a 2018 Fiat 124 Spider Abarth now. Would love to have that MG Cyberster. Already getting all the info I can.
The ROMA's for Me. In that blue color tooo!
Awesome choice. Roma has one of the most striking Ferrari designs in recent years.
MX 5's all day.I love mine.V8's will kill it on a straight but then you get stuck behind them on a bend.Unless they are in a ditch surrounded by hedges.
What do you think of the upcoming electric revolution?
@@automotiveterritoryI own a 2023MY 184CV ND blue cap, its “old-fashion” balanced and true driver sensations and experience are unbeatable: true lightweight compared to any PHEV or EV, 50/50 weight balance, high-revving gentle engine sound, manual gearbox and lovely stick….you can really enjoy any road no matter at what (legal) speed, just for the shear pleasure of driving. I take mine for a spin just for FUN, playing with the gear stick and listening to the engine in any curvy road, at really low speeds indeed - whilst it can really be exciting if you decide to push it, even under legal speed limits. I look forward to see how Mazda engineers match this with the next electric generation, I doubt it can be matched in some essential aspects of mine though. It might be more modern, nicer, sharper, exciting…but still missing the “old-fashion” overall experience I am afraid. Let’s see…
Back in the 1990s, several major car magazines declared that the Mazda Miata was the best handling car in production, beating out ALL the BMWs and Porsches… I’m not sure that that is exactly true, but it must be close. You can’t buy a better handling car for 10X as much money!
The Mustang Convertible Turbo will work for me. I wish they would make it AWD. At one point Lincoln MKZ made a Convertible Concept Car. People went crazy over it. Of course the powers that be just ignored us. The power in my MKZ 2.0 AWD Pins me in my seat & it’s also AWD. It’s a Reserve model with all the bells & whistles. Convertibles don’t need to be on small nor expensive cars. The rest of us would like a convertible to that doesn’t have our butts dragging on the pavement. I’ve had a 2 Sebrings until the 200 ended it. My 2008 Sebring was a Steel Top. It wasn’t cheap but it was worth it. It was lousy in the snow but the 2004 is excellent in the snow.
excellent
Many many thanks. Which of these is your top pick?
Wow these car amazing
Which of these is your top pick?
Why not show the canvas top when up,more???
the 5.0 V8 could do with an all aluminium small block V8 with a mild biturbo, not a full blown turbocharger arrangement . . . Ford could offer 3.4 I6 or 3.9 V8 as different drivetrain options to customers . . . the base EcoBoost® 2.3 I4 seriously needs some measure of turbocharging . . . the Mini Cooper EV sure does need more power & range . . . a 43.3 kWh - 48.2 kWh that should give it a real world range of 350 kms . . .
Aside from the Mini, Mustang and MG (the 3-Ms), none of the cars are affordable for the working class. Mini price is very suspect though.
Yes, we have had other viewers mentioning the same thing about Mini. It's odd that their MSRP is so far away from the price in dealerships. I will need to look into this more.
Mustang is the working couple Ferrari. We have one for the last 5 yrs easy drive and maintenance
FYI! Mustang is not roadsters
Interested in convertible, Reasonably priced, nice 'v' power. The ridiculous prices are just that
Well, Miata is still the answer. . . for the vast majority of us. Sorry, don’t mean to hurt the 1%er’s feelings.
Agree
If you fit. It’s way underpowered. Prius is faster. Sold my BBR CLUB. My Mazdaspeed Miata was better
They don’t mention the Miata !? 😎
Yeah sure if u are a hairdresser and gay 😂
Absolutely correct quality build many years of development and latest improvements make this car is very enjoyable consider get now it has more power.

Getting ghostface vibes from the recaro seats in the mustang lol
Let's hope it's just a coincidence.
I love how you were going to show both affordable cars and cars one could only add to a wishlist what happened to the affordable cars? The few in the list had no place being there. Like an unwanted stepchild
Unfortunately there aren't many new options in the affordable category. I tried to showcase all newcomers that I could. Did I miss any?
because people buy suv, minivan, and trucks.
What happened to the mercedes CLE convertible which replaces both the C and E convertibles?
Hmm, I have no idea to tell the truth. Will need to do some research to properly answer this.
If only the new Z came in a convertible, then I might consider letting go of my 370z roadster.
If only... Hopefully it will come some time in the future
Today our attention is focused on newest convertible cars and roadsters. Which of these newcomers is your top pick?
LC 500
I have a 1974 MGB..I'd rather buy a new British Heritage body take all the parts off my old car and refresh it all than buy a Chinese electric one...plus if i want to go faster Chevy makes a LS inline four cylinder that makes 300 hp if i wanted to build a resto mod...
You can get an very good Austin HEALEY 100/6 for $25K-$30K. I don’t know about that $1M price tag for a vintage car. This new car is about 5X to 7X overpriced.
compliments : finally pron. Coupé (Coopay) not Coop !
Corvette
I didn’t know that MG was still around.
They have been relaunched under new leadership
MG was bought by a Chinese company and uses the MG name as catcher. Never ever will i buy Chinese junk.
The Zo6 or e-ray, the most popular convertible new for 2023 and you missed it?
Yes, sorry about that. Should have at least included the news about E-ray.
The 9 one one
Nice choice!
Where’s the BMW, Merced and Audi Convertibles?? 😂😂!!
As far as I'm concerned, they haven't announced any updates for the upcoming model year. Did I miss any good options?
The MG looks nice. But 1850 kg! Nearly two tons. How fun is that?
Just like with any other electric vehicle, the extra weight has to be compensated with higher powertrain parameters
Beautiful 😂.....
How did you miss one of the very best??? Lexus LC 500
No electric car for me. I love my Audi TT Roadster i bought 10 years ago. Still going strong, great car.
Really hope that it serves you well for many more years.
Hw about doing a video about one new convertible or roadster that I can actually afford?
Well, you are not the only one having this thoughts. That is why I am always looking for good deals on the used market.
Mazda MX 5 is the very supercar for most of us and should at least be mentioned.
The video covers the most recent models. I don't recall Mazda preparing any updates for Miata in 2024. Did I miss something?
cars are cool.
Which of these is your top pick?
To answer your question…. YES! Rethink what sold in the past and improve with modern designs, no need, to reinvent the wheel.
So should manufacturers go for futuristic designs or improved classic looks?
@@automotiveterritory Both!
Great video visuals. But the narrator isn't adept at reading his script. Why no Miata?
Miata has not had any updates recently, or did I miss something?
nice
Which of these is your top pick?
4100lbs for a 2-seater MG Cyberster! All those batteries...
If I won the lotto... it would be Maserati all the way!!
Awesome pick!
Only the MG Cyberster.
the new Porsche Boxster 718 Spyder RS 4.0 I6 2-Dr Sports Convertible (LHD) misses out on AWD & turbocharging . . . besides Germans love biturbo I6 V6 V8 all the way to V10s & V12s . . . the new Ferrari Roma Spyder (Type F169) 3.9 Biturbo V8 2-Dr Sports Touring Coupe (LHD) could seriously do with AWD & specially calibrated air suspension system . . . infact cars like the new Aston Martin DBS 770 Ultimate (AM7A) 6.0 Biturbo V12 2-Dr Grand Touring Coupe (RHD) should feature AWD & variable-sensor air suspension system . . .
i thought it was. The GTC4 Lusso V12 certainly is.
AWD and air suspension both add weight.
Sports cars don’t need AWD, I have a 981 Spyder and a P85D, need two cars
Why are they so heavy. And what's the point of these speeds and nassive engines?
I can guarantee that the mini convertible will not sell for 24k euros but at least 40k!!!
You are right. The price I mentioned in the video is just a rumored MSRP. Now the updated prices estimations show about 50k GBP.
Always the gold but expensive.
Unfortunately, many new cars make us feel this way.
The MG is best.
Good choice!
The best is missing from this lineup. MX5 Miata
I tried to mention vehicles with the most recent updates. Is the Miata scheduled to receive updates in 2024?
@automotiveterritory mostly minor facelift update and something to so with the underbody chassis I think. Motor expe Ted to remain the same, info screen about 8.8 " so slightly larger
@@automotiveterritory Yes. Pretty big ones
Dunno, this video is pretty old and info about Miata's updates is still too scarce. I would feature it in the 2025 version of this video.
At £0.5M, the Caton Healey is a VERY costly Mazda MX-5! The Cobra is a better deal.
Hint: For the average consumer, a Mustang or Miata, or perhaps the MiniCooper, would be the ticket. In the Miata, opt for the manual transmission and take it to the twistiest road you know and have a blast. In the Mustang, don’t be fooled by all the ‘performance’ stuff. It’s not a track car (no convertible is), and while it handles well it’s not gonna hang with a real sports car on curves. So just get the Ecoboost version, and treat it is the awesome sporty cruiser that it is.
True! Rear wheel drive with a stick.
No Corvettes, no Miatas...
Did these cars get any updates for 2023-2024 model years?
Where is the BMW M4 x-drive convertible!
It's a great option, were there any 2023-2024 updates for this model?
That's 18 minutes I'll never get back....
How so?
Not including Mercedes Benz's fabulous Cabriolet offerings in this lineup, especially the AMG upgrades, was a stunning omission and a huge mistake!
I mentioned the newest models at that time. What new Mercedes convertible did I miss?
You forgot the best convertible sports car in the world Mazda Miata, PERIOD.
The video is about new models. Miata has not seen an update in such a long time
👏👏👏
Thanks! Which of these did you like the most?
Wheres the corvette?
Do you mean the E-Ray?
Not one Mercedes Benz in this bunch???wth??
What about the Lexus
Miata all the way, then Mustang. Forget the others.
The thing is that I wanted to focus on new models. Or are there any Miata updates that I missed?
Couldn’t make it even halfway through. I just can’t hear the word “coupee” said out loud one more time.
That's alright
Mazda? Toyota? Fiat?
Which models did I miss?
WOW ! gorgeous stunning convertibles, can we also get most of this convertibles in GTA ONLINE ?!?
Yes, it would be nice to have them over there too
👍👍♥️
Which of these did you like the most?
electric sport cars are you kidding ???
What's wrong about it?
It's coupé, not coupe. Pronounced more like "coupay" rather than "coup."
Interesting suggestion, thanks. But are we talking about the original word in French or 'coupe' as a loan word in English?
@@automotiveterritory It's a french word, that litteraly means "cut".

Subaru should make the BRZ into a convertible and all wheel drive. Ford and Maserati are crap. The Porsche is a beaut!!
Subaru seem to have dropped their performance car efforts, so (even though I would really like to see a model that you are describing) the odds of this happening are very slim. Such a shame though.
How did the manufacturer get the weight of the MG up to 4100 lbs???! That's one porky convertible in need of a diet!
That's how much an average electric car weighs.
Mainstream north america car makers are pushing all SUV s . They are gross, expensive to repair. They are so out if style period. Now that electric cars look exciting we can build the bigger two doir coupes again. If i were a manufacturer ide be going ahead of the game. Only selling 4 doir version cars and SUVS is basically limiting buyers and thats not good. I dont see any new cars i want or would buy. I dont need an SUV in the city. I dont want an econo cross over either. Ill stick with my two door hatchback. I hate 4 door sedans. They arch the front doors and you end up hutting the tops of the doors with your head. Its painful and its something that always happens . At least with a two door the doors are bigger and you dont hit your head. Gms biggest mistake was and will be getting rid of camaro and killing pontiac was their biggest blunder of all time. Why does gm need two luxury brands no other car company has that. I would have rid Hummer, Buick olds . Kept pontiac as sport division, chev as entry level and Cadillac as luxury. Problem solved. Made sure their was no duplication period. Each division having their own models no rebranding. Gm would have been in better shape now. With Jaoan and Korea dumping their cars here and Europe doing the same our car companies suffered but it was by their own doing. They were building crappy cheap unreliable vehicles. Its a shame. I was watching it and yelling . Oh how i wished i was the big cheese when this came down. You would have seen a better gm . A trend setter not a cheap copycat company. And ford only selling trucks wtf is that about. Good luck ford. You only have the mustang now. What a huge blunder.....i dont understand north americas car thinkers. They are not going in the right direction. Next will be chrysler. This one im hokding my breath. Im not a fan of Chrysler but lets see what happens lol
$571,000 for a fake austin healey what a joke🤣🤣🤣
Let’s face it; styling has reached the peak and has reached a plateau, and retro. At least the Mini is electric.
You are right, It's really hard to come up with a truly new design without being similar to competitors.
mafia cars...
How come?
I guess convertibles are only made for the rich now.
solo saben tener likes porque los pagan aburrido
I have always contended that horsepower should be limited to 300 in an age when we realize that fossil fuels are pollutants and expensive. In the best of all possible worlds you should be able to buy a really nice car for less than $100K. $2.3M is a nasty joke for people who have way too much money and little common sense.
We live in times where these very limited cars keep on selling at such prices because they are mainly used as a collectible. It's not uncommon to see these rarely driven too.
@@automotiveterritory Like the yachts that rich people buy and never visit.
Fuck that
why the mask , you are alone , you even stated we are unmasking the cars but what happened to you , is it a cold sore from .....
What do you mean?
It doesn't cost any more to make a beautiful car than an ugly one. Once again the poor man is cast aside. When this bubble bursts, there will be a tsunami of bankrupt companies. Look how all the big builders are struggling.
Morgan for retirement
Long live the gas guzzling mustang!
All the cars appear to suck ass. Why? Because they are 'meant to be driven'. But the cockpits are so fucking tight, you have to contort just to sit in them. Do any of these even have seats that can be reclined? Do any of these have enough leg and headroom? Do any of these have steering wheels that telescope and tilt? No. So you can forget taken them out on a long weekend roadtrip.
Go ahead and buy a convertible - you'll probably regret it . . .
Bought my 2012 Mustang convertible in 2016. Still no regrets.
No MX5 - shit list
The video is about new cars. MX5 has not been updated for years
Ridiculous, Mercedes Benz SL AMG 63. No car for old men anymore.
That is why Mazda Miata is really confusing, tiny size, weak power train, and it is risky to drive it on highway and I can’t buy it as my only vehicle.
Ridiculous choice of cars not at all realistic
These are the newest models. Did I miss any?
I cannot stand the AI narration
What are you talkin about?
EFF the "High Powered Cars!" overcompensating inadequate male rides. MILES PER GALLON and RELIABILITY. What good is any car if it GULPS GAS or is a HEAVY BATTERY waste of energy grid?
Quite a few HIDEOUS cars in this lot -- and in general, the more expensive, the uglier! "What is wrong with this picture?"
Aii high end really sucks go away
