For goodness sake folks let's move with the times. From a Kiwi point of view it is exactly what would sell here amongst the suburban tractor drivers. Mainly indistinguishable from the rest it may be, but would look great outside the School. Maybe also contains some DNA from decades of four wheel drive tech.
We aren't going to see a pure MG any more. For me, good to see the badge still out there. More power to their arm.

Cheers

Not an MG!!!! It's got an MG badge so it's an MG. remarks like that anger me, it's as bad as those snobby MG B brigade looking down their noses at my 260 with the remark "it's not a real MG" get your head out of your backside and stop the snobbery.

Sorry Les, would have to disagree!

You own a fabulous example of an MG ZT-T SE V8 and that IS an MG, as it was built in a British factory, but British workers, under British ownership.

Now any Company can "buy" a Marque, (which is what SAIC did) but just because it wears an MG badge, IMO, the SAIC product never has and never will be an "MG" and if it was marketed and sold in this Country as a SAIC (which is what it is) we wouldn't even mention it on this site!

What makes an MG?
Is it the design behind it or simply where it is made or maybe even a combination of both?

For me, it's the design - the assembly is just, well, the assembly.

Where are the modern MG's designed? Longbridge. That's what makes it an MG for me.

Nice I'm sure it will sell well. These cars are very popular at the moment.

As to whether it is an MG of course it is. It's made under the company MG therefore it is an MG. Would people say that all rovers made under bmw aren't really rovers? Of course not. The brand is the brand.

Hi folks
I was being a bit facetious in my post in regard to 'real' MGs, this car is indeed in my mind a real MG as is all of its ilk.
Cheers
