Hate the wheels however I think it's great to see the ball finally rolling and hopefully some jobs to be had too.

fingers crossed they do sort the ride and price it right

i would love to have some influence in marketing and stuff like that

instead of some gay advert it should appeal to the sort of people who buy skodas and hyundais

realistic!

It is very Ford focus/Mondeo ST ish. And since when is what Quentin Wilson likes a good thing?

It does have a bit of the modern VW about it too.

Not all of it :lol: alot of the equiptment went to China, and a huge amount of it was demolished, when i went to the pride of longbridge show (not the recent one) i was amazed at what a massive amount of it was gone, but some of it remains, includeing the 75 production line so it seems :)

It looks like all the other korean tat on the roads imo.

And to be honest, Quentin Wilson isnt exactly the top guy in the motoring world anymore. Might as well get Mike Brewer in too.

Some fanny on .org will buy a new one just to prove a point.

Any ideas on the opening price? I cant honestly see anyone on here buying one off the shelf.

No need for that, shortly standard language in Coventry will be Hindu, in Longbridge Chinese and in London Russian. Look MG and Jaguar already have aslant eyes. :D

It's a great step to rebuilding the MG name up....hopefully one of the first of many steps that will see some superb cars once again.

It looks absolutely GASH apart from the rear.

The headlights are an abomination.

Why is it just screaming ford to me?

It looks like VW took a Later model Focus and slapped a Golf front end on it... Im sorry but this is a flop, no doubt the concept was probably bought from the likes of Ford or VW

Saw one of these about 40 minutes ago.

On a 10 plate registration, MG badge on the front had been removed. Looked ok, not particularly keen tbh.
