Mazda 6, Mondeo, Insignia, even Nissan Primera CLONE! Still it ain't exactly ugly but I wish it looked a bit more unique?!

Well it doesn't look much like an MG. But that's probably a good thing.

i agree with you on the primera shape, do you think they've used the same body?

No this is MG's own work nothing to do with Nissan. Designed in the UK and with a bit of luck also build there. It is based partly on the 75/ZT from which the Roewe 550 was born. According to China Cartimes the pictures don't do it any justice and in the flesh it really looks very good.

I think it looks quite good, but as already mentioned it is an amalgam of every other fleet favourite. Atleast the 75/ZT look individual, although that might not have helped matters..

Isn't that a Lexus GS with a different front end?
