New MG Concept Cars - CS and Icon
Hello all, I was just perusing the new MG website, and found a couple of interesting cars!
I'm not a fan of the 'soft roader' 4x4 look, but it's interesting none the less. Behold, the MG CS - http://mg.co.uk/vehicles/concept-cars/mg-cs/ Another SUV they've released as a concept is the Icon - see here: http://mg.co.uk/vehicles/mg-icon-concept/ What do you guys think? As much as I'm all for the new MGs, I'll stick to wanting a '6 at some point in the future I think.

i really quite like the CS, and if all the other 'crossovers' on the road today are anything to go by, i think it will sell quite well.
As for the icon, i'm very much on the fence. I love the MGB inspiration, but I think it will only really appeal to those as a homage to the MGB.

I think the front of the Icon looks a lot like the new Mini! If I'm honest, I'm not a huge fan of either car. AFAIK MG were never known for people carriers or SUVs.

Another dreadful idea (in my opinion of course)...

I think the CS looks the nuts.
It is perfect for todays market so I really hope they get it out soon. Couple of facts I gleamed from MG at the Thruxton BTCC - MG CS: - 2WD and 4WD variant - MG only (no Roewe version) - It is not going to be a rebadged Ssangyong. - Full size clay 3D printer model is currently in the MG design studio at Longbridge and it is very much like the concept apparently. - Currently, it is not expected to land until 2017 in the UK. - it's going to be a major focus of the brand and priced below the 6.

The CS . . . . I think he must have had a photo of the Range Rover Evoque on his desk.
Icon . . . . no, no, no! That's in the same ugly league as the Nissan Juke! The front looks ok but it all goes to buggry from the doors back. Last edited by stevestrat; 10th June 2014 at 18:35.. |

I don't mind the CS; it's stylish enough and inoffensive to look at.
I really like the way the Icon takes styling cues from the MGB. A clever use of the badge's heritage. Some say MG never made SUVs, but who did back when MG was MG? There was the Range Rover and pretty much nothing else. Any manufacturer serious about making headway in the market needs an SUV in its portfolio. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Forum Fiend v1.2.8. |
