New MG (Sorry if this has been done before)

[Dominicc01]

Just seen this in the news, and can't see it anywhere on PH (Search function doesn't seem to work) - and I think it looks fantastic. Here's to hoping for a revival of MG!

mmmm, rather Jag XF/Mondeo in terms of outline shape.

No pics either, just a drawing from one angle.

Wish them luck, but I'll believe it when I see it.

MG were at Goodwood FOS.

[Cupramax]

They had one at Goodwood and to be honest it didn't look that great in the flesh....

needs more engine options

I dare say it will get them, in time. I doubt they'll sell any until the diesel comes along, though.

Wibbling about that is no different to wibbling about Aston Martin or Jaguar.

umm is that like a German company who own the brand name Lambo/Bentley/Bugatti were at the Goodwood FOS

Or

a Malaysian company who own the brand name Lotus were at Goodwood FOS :hehe

Sorry, no. They barely registered on my "Do I Care? o'meter". I just happened to be passing where a few of the cars were parked and some deep memory of reading an Autocar feature a while was stirred - then quickly buried again.

Lotus still have a factory, people, expertise, and all the manufacturing, design and creating in Norfolk (last time I visited).

I didn't take a close look, but it was different enough to make me think "What's that?".

Not horrible from a distance from the outside, but not exciting enough to make me search out the MG stand

[Mr E]

I actually had a chat with the chap on the MG stand about the MGTF.

To be more accurate, I asked if it was still powered by the K-Series. He replied that it had an N-series which was a K with all the problems solved. He then looked a bit upset when I asked if it would fit in the Elise....

Less than 14K new makes it a cheap little car for Ms Mid-Life crisis.

And also the basis of a cheap one make race series?

That's funny, I thought they bought their engines from Toyota and most other drivetrain and many other parts (mirrors, brakes, etc) from other companies.....

[300bhp/ton]

ok, actually I think this looks quite good. But if I'm honest it looks a little too concept car. I'd be amazed if it actually looks as good as this when in production, which is a shame. But still wish them all the best, really quite like the colour too!

MG still have a factory, people, expertise, some of the manufacturing, design and creating in Birmingham. In my book that makes them at least as British as Bentley.

Powered by a 158bhp, 1.8-litre turbocharged petrol engine its hardly going to be quick.

Another MG flop, I hope it doesn't happen.
