Sounds good to me!

 

There has still been no explanation of why Longbridge is suddenly incapable of building left hand drive cars. A lot of the Spanish/Portugeese MG fans will want to buy an MG that was built in Britain, not in China.

Probably becuase Longbridge is just a sweetner

 

Another important question for me is this whole story about NAC and SAIC joint venture or whatever it really is. If it happens, I wonder how some of you brits see an MG-Roewe Group reasonable... Sometimes I think I'm more british than you guys...:getcoat:

For me MG is not just Paul Stowe, Rob Oldaker, Louise Lane, James Lin, Gary Hagan, Stephen Cox, Arup, Lotus Engineering and a Longbridge built TF to sell in UK market. For me MG is much more. It should be at least TF and MG 7 made in UK to sell in Europe. Otherwise... just forget it :banghead:

 

Maybe, you just need to look at it as a start.

Think MINI. First they started with the One & Cooper. Then they added the Cooper S - then they added the Convertible.

MG is just the same - start small, and grown organically.

You have to forget MG Rover of the past, and look forward to growth of the MG marque - from small acorns does gown.

 

It was said that Longbridge will build for market with RHD cars and the LHD cars will be built in China.
The logic is kind of strange, but nevermind.

 

Strange? Understatement of the year mate. It is mind bogglingly deranged :irked:

As far as I am concerned, Nanjing can shove their Chinese made MGs right up where the sun dont shine.

I hope that NAC don't neglect the Italian market for too long, they liked their MGR's for a good while. Wasn't it the company's 2nd best selling market with Spain 3rd?

 

Good point.

It always surprises me how well liked Rover/MG etc cars are in Europe ,strangely they seem better thought of abroad than they are here

 

Honda have recently dropped a hint that future Swindon production will be for the UK only due to the strength of the pound. Maybe the Chinese are taking the same view?

 

Yeah I saw that.

The steel industry that I work in was forever saying the UK should join the Euro - thing is our raw materials ,coal/iron ore etc are cheaper if the pound is strong ,and that's the biggest outlay. And when I go on holiday I've noticed things are mega expensive under the Euro compared to what they were ,and I'm about 99.99% sure the locals would agree.

I just don't buy into this Euro thing at all ,perhaps if our government attached more importance to manufacturing ,and supported the companies more ,statements like honda made wouldn't be ,well ,made.

 

Na, he was only away for a week.

I'll admit, producing only RHD cars at Longbridge is a little odd, I'll try and find out the reasoning behind it. There must be a reason!

 

Im sorry but MG is a british brand, they should make the cars in britian like land rover does, I will not buy a car made in china and i will not buy a TF as i want a sallon. So unless a MG3 or MG5 or next MG7 are made in britian then bye bye MG im of to Honda.

 

Just a small point - This news has not been announced by NAC it has come off a highly accurate source of a internet site. Obviously we should beleive everything said on the internet.:lol:
