Depends on how they want to develop the brand and if they want to go into a niche market. They were producing the MG6 at a time when the big manufacturers were dropping their saloon development plans. Even Ford are to drop the Mondeo soon. Local Ford dealer in Gloucester had a very smart Mondeo Vignale sat on its forecourt for over a year. Couldn’t sell it. At around 30k, buyers were going to look at BMW and Mercedes instead which is simply badge snobbery.
MG it seems are creating a new MG brand that is untarnished, new and fresh making a convertible more likely as it will attract buyers much younger than the rest of us! I’m interested to see how they are doing in 10 years time.

Dealer support is spotty for the Chinese MG, I was speaking to someone who owns one last week where they had to undertake a 500 mile round trip to have a software upgrade applied, and a camshaft sensor.
This was all down to the fact the "local" dealers (only a 200 mile round trip) couldn't guarantee to have the part required, which would mean another trip after the part had been ordered.
It's small wonder they are not selling a large amount of these cars
