Default Saw the new MG........price

Would you trust the build quality on an MG ?

Mind you if you go for the one with the factory installed NOS - which IS an option

Its absolute madness- you would have thought someone in MG in a big meeting would have suddenly put his or her hand up and said "wait a second, has anyone done any market research to find out if anyone would buy this funny looking Rover over a polished 911, TVR beast or other exotica?".

Not if you as managment were busy signing all the expensive assets Rover has into their own part of the Company and the crap to the workers waiting for the whole thing to go pop. This is exactly what they need to make the Company fold and for them to run off with the riches..............alledgedly.
