Colour no, investigating EU4 turbo "K" series electronics........
Could fit the engine into my Marina along with all the other junk.

It's not difficult to see why these don't sell well, they are pig ugly

From the look of that front end, it looks like its plotting to cost you a lot of money........

The looks are unfortunately the problem, there is no mistaking the Chinese influence. I'm not saying there is anything wrong with that, its clearly designed for its main market which was not the UK. And here we are happy to by 1000's of Korean/Japanese etc cars which are very much of their national identity. So is the MG6, thus it just it doesn't look very MG.

The new smaller car looks ok though, and I wish them well with it, sadly I fear it wont due to the British habit of knocking everything down before its started.

I would have an MG6 in a shot though in a few years...

Is that coolant from the K-series on the floor?

I'm not so sure tbh, Drop a RWD Supercharged V8 in it (cheaper buy Dodge V10's

), make it only available in bright colours (Firecracker Red, Jaffa Orange, Puke Green) make it as fast as an M5 for less than half the money and I reckon you'd sell a few.

I went to buy a new one from a MG Garage and ended up deciding to keep my 75 !
They are ****** awful ! - soulless - characterless - exercise in badge engineering
Was so disappointed in it - My 9 year old 75 will outlive these
