- Forgettable design, badges look overdone
The Gloster eluded most of us hacks at the 2020 Auto Expo since MG added it to their exhibit only after the media days were over. It wasn’t decided so, because the car just didn’t arrive in time for the media to lay their eyes now. And yet it created quite a bit of news because the Gloster is anything but elusive. With its massive proportions, it wowed the audience at the show and everyone and their uncle was posting selfies with it despite its relatively conventional design.
Design
Contrary to that, my first drive out with the Gloster didn’t turn as many heads though and that was underwhelming! Maybe it was the colour that wasn’t standing out at night or people were just too busy relearning the nuances of driving in the city post the lockdowns and didn’t have the space of mind to notice this new brute. Or maybe it’s just the simplicity of the Gloster’s design that doesn’t make it as remarkable.
