MG 6 GT - BTCC Edition

I'm not sure about it to be honest. Looks ok from the front but from the side it doesn't have much in the way of a 'sporty' appearance. Not really keen on the black wheels either.

Fair play to em for using the BTCC success to appeal to a wider clientele.

So paint the wheels black, stick a plaque on the dash and call it a "Limited Edition".....

This is the thing, take a look at Fords ST models and the Vauxhall VXR stuff and see how they differ from their standard models, its quite a noticable change in trim and spec, unlike this one.

They also have models with genuine performance, rather than using a "warmed-over" old 148 bhp petrol engine designed 25 years ago!

I sent them a photoshop when they launched it, only marginally different and I agree it should be even more aggressive and more powerfull.

Doesn't do it for me.. they need Peter Stevens back at the helm. He designs some stunning cars.
