Mmm.

I thought I liked the look of the saloon as opposed to the hatchback but now I am not so sure

I need to see one in the flesh before passing any further judgement.

They're a modern looking car, with influences from all over the place,

I can't help but feel though, that it's just not how an MG should look.

All of the Z car's always looked something that little bit special..

Saloon rims look good, bar that best to hang fire until I see more pictures or one for real.

WIDE LOAD · 12th May 2010, 23:37

not keen, just looks like any other new car.

not worthy of the badge tbh! why couldnt they go down the same style road as chrysler did with the 300c? cheap car with expensive looks!

These are hardly the most flattering of photographs. I would like to see them in good metallic and solid colours, well photographed in good light conditions. Very hard to get a sense of the dynamic of design from these car park on a rainy, misty day shots.
More than that I'm prepared to reserve any judgement until I can walk around, view from different angles, explore the interiors and preferably rag one about to see if the handling and alleged sportiness is really there.
I would have preferred to see a more elegantly aggressive face on the cars but my sense of front end design is not necessarily to everybody's taste. Perhaps a little old fashioned?

The saloon, to my mind, should be slightly softer in appearance as perhaps the designers have tried to achieve, whereas the hatch should be the rather more sporting of the two.

They are, after all trying to access the mainstream market, where most of us ZT and 75 owners, in my very humble opinion, feel we are in a different niche from the run of the mill Euroboxes, and rightly so.

Looking forward to having a tryout.

Couldnt agree more. 75 and ZT owners will not be gravtating towards a car like this no matter what we all say. We are all future classic car owners essentially and has been proven, we just keep coming back to them.
