I have read the negativity and the positive comments. Whatever the car is like, there will be miserable old gits like me that remember the complete and utter awfulness of the Maxi, the Allegro and the very ugly land crab from parents and friends of parents cars. Later in life, I did some time in the trade with a leasing company. Lots of cars all different makes, Sierra with that god awful 1.6 Pinto that wouldn't pull your pants down and the comparatively lively Cavalier that would run rings round it. The Montego 1.6 was also a better car in terms of performance than the Slugerra. However, I always felt like it was waiting to fall apart around me or just stop for no apparent reason. The Maestro. What a pile of merde that car was. I knew it would be cr4p when I could see remnants of the Maxi everywhere I looked. Horrible to drive I had a nightmare recently that there was one of these and a Metro on my drive. Aaaaaargh

My point is this, however good the new "MG" is, there will be a lot of people, including old miserable gits like me that will remember the awful driving experiences they had at the hands of BL/Rover/MG, tar everything with the same brush and will therefore never even consider the new car.

As a footnote, I used to drive a friends B Roadster at the tender age of 19. Now that was a great car which I really enjoyed driving

Irrelevant comment of the century!

Nah, I'd rather have a Veyron, or a Spyker or a Zonda or maybe ANY OTHER CAR THATS TOTALLY INCOMPARABLE especially in terms of purchase price.

On a lighter note -
Magnette Road.

Look up - see that thing going over your head? It's called a "joke"...

To be fair you must be able to see why that was not obvious.

It'll still be a Rover and they'll still be driven by doddery old farts that like to clog up the outside lane.

I don't care if it's got an MG badge on it! Still a Rover

Shame to waste all that is good about MG by slapping the badge on that pile of old wk

What is still a Rover?

I don't get that either. Also, when the MG Z-series saloons and hatches were current they tended to be driven by young people, as the entry-level models were amongst the few hot-ish hatches without silly insurance premiums, and the faster variants (ZS V6) seemed to be the choice of BTCC fans. Rover's 'old' target market were the Conservative-club types who had flagpoles in the garden of their 17th-century cottages and went to church on Sundays out of a sense of obligation. They didn't like things changing around them, which is why Rover obliged with olde-worlde chrome grilles and trim, wooden cabinet-style dashboards and the sort of big squeaky wipe-down leather armchairs you find in your grandparents' living rooms.

Can't see any of that on the MG6.

Linking Birmingham's famous Cadbury and Rover plants, just a couple of miles apart, there should surely be an opportunity to go up the Bournville Speedway ?

Yeah it's just flown over and CRASHED in a ball of flames. The type of non-joke that only you find funny I guess.
