Looks like the Ford Kuga to me from the back.

No rear license plate? No apparent trade plate in the rear window either.

Yes, it's the new XS for sure (see the MG website for details) but is it legally allowed on the road in that state?

Certainly looks like a Kuga to me too! Wouldn't be the Chinese 'stealing' car designs would it?

Yep. Actually it might be any Nissan/Kia/Hyundai/Vauxhall etc etc etc.... Still that type of car sell well and fill the job people ask of them. Not really my cup of tea though.

I'm sure it'll sell if the price is right and you can find a dealer!

Well, the Kuga is a really good car. Both my work mate and my brother have one. My brother got one because he (his wife actually) had a baby and he didn't want the childseat in his Jag XKR. So they got a Kuga as it is HUGE and safe in their eyes.
My mate has a disabled wife and so getting in and out of the Kuga is a doddle. The 'normal' cars he had before were just too low for her to get in and out of, so they went for a high rise thing, and the Kuga fits the bill.
If the MG is as good as the Ford, it'll be a good machine. Just doesn't really stand out from the crowd with such similar styling. Look at the windows running down the side, they are the same shape and style with the same trim and everything. Little bit too "clone-ish" for my taste, which doesn't really do the MG badge much honour. In my opinion, that is.
