Sandero maybe, size wise, but the others are definitely not. The Alto/Pixo are barely worth considering in any market - dreadful machines and grossly overpriced for what they are.Are these cars going to be close competitors to the MG3? I like the look of the MG3 but the Dacia Sandero certainly looks like it will shake up the low-price end of the sector.
1. Dacia Sandero from £6,000
2. Perodua Myvi from £7,000
3. Suzuki Alto from £7,200
4. Nissan Pixo from £7,250
obviously your opinion, but I would never write a car off (so to speak) until I had seen it and driven it...:yikes: :fail: Well ..... I'll happily avoid that car.. disgusting
MG3 is hatchback with the British style like David Beckham and Kate Moss... MG said it in China so it must be trueMg3 British hot hatch?!
Mini is now a brand not a description.5 door MINI, I think the MINI name is now obsolete.
Well given Kate Moss is a complete swamp donkey its rather apt ... Its hard to believe the complete chod they come up with to describe these British design icons, that interestingly have never been seen on these shores, actually works on selling to the masses in China.MG3 is hatchback with the British style like David Beckham and Kate Moss...

I think everyone would do well to forget the concept of something being 'British' because it seems most people couldn't care less:Mg3 British hot hatch?!

I dont think anyone is saying that, My question is why do they go so OTT in China to make out that the cars are inherently British when they are clearly not give that MG is Chinese owned. I really dont get how they fall for all that tosh.I think everyone would do well to forget the concept of something being 'British' because it seems most people couldn't care less:
At the end of the day the majority of the supermini-buying public are more than happy to purchase a Spanish Fiesta, a German Corsa, a French 205 etc etc.
Yet everyone goes on about how 'not being British and entirely made from British brimstone by British war veterans wearing beefeater outfits' will somehow make the MG3 unworthy....
I just don't get it at all - The MG3 will have had more British input than the vast majorty of the top 10 best sellers in the UK today.
The argument : "if the MG3 isn't made in Britain I'll just buy a Spanish made, US-owned Fiesta instead" is frankly, infantile and ridiculous.
Well it's only the same way that Apple go on about their iPad/iPhone - designed in California by Apple etc - yet made in China. And MINI don;t exactly play down the Britishness with the Austrian made Countryman- rather than be offended, we should be proud the Chinese feel being British is a selling point - clearly many Brits don't.I dont think anyone is saying that, My question is why do they go so OTT in China to make out that the cars are inherently British when they are clearly not give that MG is Chinese owned.

I think you might be stretching it a bit far on the British input, given the size and scale of what they have in the UK it cant of had any input further than computer design and modelling here, everything else will have been done in China. At the end of the day given no one really gives a damn where stuff is made, so the deciding factor over here will be if its any good and if they actually market them.
