Can I ask what the ORA cat has to do with MG? Or are we expanding into other brands?

If you click the link you'll see it takes you to a different site. There were a few ora posts here that I think prompted the site owner to create an ora specific forum.

Maybe something interesting to those who are members on the Ora forum. First edition spec, launching in 4 colours - £30,495 after PiCG:

First Edition - ORA Funky Cat - New compact electric car

Discover you future friend, the ORA Cat First Edition. Coming 2022.

There'll also be a queue jump option, which isn't live yet

Funky Cat is on it's way:

I think the MG4 has just killed the cat

The Cat is aiming at a "premium" market in the same way as Mini e and the Honda e. The latter has sold very slowly despite the current favourable market, and I have never been able to see how an unknown (or one with a previously poor reputation depending on your view) company can move straight into the premium market.

Dealership in Wolverhampton will be one of the first to sell new electric car

A Wolverhampton car dealership is to be one of the first to sell a new electric car.

Lookers dealership in Wolverhampton and Braintree to sell the Ora cat, taking orders from November for delivery later in the year?

You don't get much later in the year than November, so a quick delivery lead time it seems.

The Mini is way over-priced for it's minimal range. The only reason people buy it is for it's looks/badge. Similar story for the Honda e.
I love the Ora Cat, but the previous poster is correct... the MG4 may have killed the Cat (and the Dolphin). It really depends on how expensive the Cat is, and how much better (as it will be better) it is than the MG4.

Bloody hell, an avalanche of Funky Cats

 

[FiferMG4]

A year ago when it was called the Ora Cat (new name Funky Cat) it was touted as going on sale for £25,000 and caught my attention as a possible first electric car. Now on sale, the base 48kWh (193 mile range) model starts at £32,000. Watching this review made me realise what value for money I’m getting in the MG4.

The tiny boot is the dealbreaker for me, but if it does reasonably well maybe we'll get the Cherry Cat here.

Should this feed be here?, just asking ?

It's been here since November last year when the Ora Cat forum was created, no posts since, so I'd say it's fine

Some amazingly cheap lease deals going around on the cat just now.
£2k down and under £250 a month.
I don’t like the looks myself, but it’s a bargain and we might to start to see more on the roads.
