Will MG go bust again?
Discussion
Here’s a quote from a paper about figures in 2014.
"The good news comes as the firm celebrates its 90th anniversary in 2014. The latest SMMT figures show in March MG's registrations were 361, compared to just 41 for the same month in 2013.
This represented a 780 per cent increase and was the highest UK sales increase in the automotive industry. Figures for the first quarter were not quite so high but still presented a rosy picture for a firm rising from the ashes after its acquisition by Chinese car giant SAIC.
Between January and March, MG sold 546 cars, compared to 81 for the same period in 2013 - an increase of 574 per cent compared to the first quarter of 2013. This was also an industry best.
Overall, the figures mean MG has already sold more cars in the UK this year than it did in the whole of 2013."
It’s a bit meaningless when put into context, to say they are the fastest uk growing manufacture is nonsense as 400 percent increase of f k all is still f k all. Selective journalism at its best. MG registered, now that’s registering not selling, 2500 motors last year. With 77 uk dealers that’s on average 2.7 cars a months
My friend works in Edinburgh for Arnold clark, last month they sold 155 for one month.
With plastics from the 50’s, a s
t range of engines, a car that’s built mostly in china, only a 60,000 mile warranty or 3 years and the fact they aren’t cheap. Is it only a matter of time before MG go bust or at least shut down in the uk?

I've sat in all the range and to be quite frank it was pathetic. I never went further to have a test drive but have read various reviews claiming them to be utterly dreadful.
The fact that you came on and we're quite brash to others bad mouthing the company got my back up.
If your happy that's great. But I just cannot understand why anyone would pick these other than brand loyalty.

I wouldn't buy a toaster that got 3 stars in a review let alone a car.
They look st
The interior is dire
The range of engines is st
They're slow
They're expensive for a piece of Chinese
The warranty is a joke
It would have to be some hell of a test drive to convince me to pick it.
