Other than that, all I can see is a grille - that will not look as sporty IMHO. Some actual figures for the engine would be nice, to see if it addresses the "shortcomings" of the current engine (torque revs etc). Also MPG figures to compare? Can't be more than 3-5mpg difference at best? 124g/km vs the current 136g/km is good, but as I say, no benefit anyway once the tax rules change next year. Obviously the start-stop technology will make a difference here. A little bit disappointed that no new engines. no turbo version, no real facelift, but not overly surprised. The car already looks great anyway, but more features such as satnav (as B&G are selling) would have been nice. Nice to see they raised the cost of all models, with the exception of the 3Time which is a great introductory price for the range (can't see many buying them, but it gets peoples attention), may give dealerships a bit more profit/headroom to discount, but in real terms, for an extra £500 you're getting a chrome grille (which will probably detract from the sportiness IMHO) and a remapped engine (which only really bears an additional cost for the more expensive stop-start starter system). More details would be beneficial from my point of view. What happened to the '3 with the lower grill similar to facelift '6? That looked quite nice if the French moustache was toned down a little...

Automatic MG3 & 6 & TF
So still no AUTOMATIC? I wonder if the NEW MG GS will be AUTO.They've got GS's PETROL AUTO in China.Knowing the way MG LONGBRIDGE think,they'll probably only sell the New GS "in Diesel"mode,as is the latest MG6? Why don't they take notice of current thinking,cos the way it's going in London/Paris & many other cities - Diesel are OUT.

Figures at last (courtesy of an email from MG):
OLD - 57.6 (extra urban) 37.7 (urban) 48.7 (combined) NEW - 59.6 (extra urban) 41.7 (urban) 51.5 (combined) I'm guessing most of that will come from start-stop given the urban vs extra urban difference. I do wonder if the JWMC exhaust wouldn't already achieve that anyway. Heres hoping for a remap on them lol... In the general publics mind, 40+ urban will improve sales! It's a shame they couldn't make the magic 60 mark for extra-urban. We know they don't reflect real-world usage, but the general public swear by them!
