Confused???

Can anybody tell me (apologies if its been asked before) but why is there a 'facelift mk2 MG7 and an old shape mk1 MG7.

I asked a NAC person at Silverstone but he went round the houses and never answered me.

I have seen that as well, but I would expect only the MK2 to properly Launch, but.....
Have also heard the option of both so who knows??

Here's what I know:

"The MG7 is a sports saloon built by MG. Production started in early 2007. The MG7 has received praise from the British press who test drove it in May. They were surprised by the build quality and lack of panel gaps which were present in the latter MG Rover built models. The MG7 comes in two styles, the first which looks like the MKI MG ZT with twin front lights and the second which looks like the MKII Rover 75 V8. There are two wheelbases and it is thought that the longer wheelbase will feature the V8 grille. To confuse matters more, pictures of a 7 with a MKII Rover 75 nose have been taken. The 7 comes in two trim levels 'Classic' which features a slatted grille and 'Sport' which has a mesh grille. The look of the 7 has changed very little; the only noticeable difference is freshly-designed LED rear light clusters and new alloy wheels. Also the car features new audio and heating systems as well as a new sunroof system. There are two engine options, the 1.8T and the 2.5V6, both revised Rover K-Series engines called the N-Series with stronger head gaskets, both meeting strict Euro IV emissions regulations. Changes to the electrical system have been made to improve the engine's ignition system and also to support the wider range of equipment, which includes front headrest-mounted DVD players for rear passengers and a reversing camera. One of the greatest improvements is the replacement of some features which were snatched away under Rover's 'Project Drive'. These include bonnet insulation, driver's-side grab handles and the noise, vibration, harshness package which reduces road, engine and wind noise in the cabin dramatically. All models now receive ITS head airbags which mean theoretically the MG7 could attain a 5 star Euro NCAP rating. Some sources suggest that the MG7 will appear in the UK in September 2007, other say it won't appear for a couple of years."
