Whoever wrote that article needs shooting!

Looking good, I like the interior changes, very similar to current Vauxhalls, but with less buttons thank god. Actually according to G shaw that makes it cheap as it doesn't have many buttons lol.

This tailpipe?

it's a Euro IV diesel - here car engines have to be Euro V, don't they? Or is it different a) in China b) for diesels?

Yes, Maxus is the brand name.

I guess the will be an improved spec deisel by the time it arrives here, EUIV is fine for China at present.

Well it looks better, shame the skip badge has gone lol. I see they have sorted a complaint that my dad had with his Maxus which is they have put an extra little mirror on the wing mirror which helps when reversing.

Isn't the W5 just a polished turd Ssangyong Kyron?

How come the 750 gets LED DRLs but the MG6 doesn't?

That is a stunning car, obviously it will be down toned for the production version, but still nice.

No thanks...

Looks stunning, best looking out of the new MGs, but it is strange having two Focus rivals. Can't wait to see the real thing.

That is brilliant news, very high profile award to win.

I guess the review is in next months magazine? Glad you like it, sounds like it is a good car.

So are they going to show the new van soon then? It would be good for the LDV to be sold in the UK again, with these new updates.

I didn't like the streetwise, it was ugly, interior was cool though, especially the two rear seats, I always called it the NVSW - notverystreetwise lol.

The first two are Jaguar drivers, then a Golf GTI driver, an MG RV8 driver and finally a Honda Accord driver.

Jaguars cost twice as much as the MG6 and the MG RV8 cost £26,500 back in 1993 so it's not surprising if the MG6 didn't quite match their standards. I would think that Golf and Accord drivers would choose their cars for different reasons than an MG driver would.

Why no Ford Focus driver?

At least one of them mentioned the MG ZT, which must have been from over 15 years ago if the start of the video is to be believed!

Those power figures are fine I think, but isn't that indirect injection? Isn't the UK ones getting direct injection for Euro 5 as that will put the power up more.

Only the UK flag at the top right!



I found http://www.yuejin.co.uk/ more interesting, if only that it is now "forbidden"
Apparently Yuejin trucks are in future to be sold as IVECO trucks.

Anyone looked at LDV website? Very interesting...

It's definitely restarting, the Wuxi factory is building prototypes now. We just don't have any UK specific news.

I hope they do restart it, looks like a MG badge shape, Morris possibly? They are VAG instruments right?

Small engines weigh less which means better performance and handling

Some say it is a little noisy at high revs but others like the noise, other than that I've not seen any bad comments. The complaints are always about the gearbox on the R350, seems to work well but there are a significant number of complaints about abnormal noises, might be a reason to choose the MG3's AMT gearbox.

I want that MG6 sport, that bumper is mean, love it. The boot space looks good in the MG3 and that engine looks tiny lol, hope its a good engine.

Mike wrote:Israeli, you are correct about Honda accord and Superb pricing, however the approximate difference is between 4000$ to 8000$ dollars(skoda suberb- 43000$), which considered to be the same category and it's not a very big difference if it's 40000$,43000$ or 48000$ comparing to what you get.

To Windy,
Concerning the noise isolation, you can barely hear yourself beyond 4000 RPM. You might consider that a good noise isolation ,but most of the modern cars I've drove were not that noisy, specially in that category.
Maybe the demo cars they have are a little different from the actual product, but I doubt that.

True

Sitting in a Focus is like sitting in a black hole, they are so dull but the MG feels fresh and new.

Maybe a modern, bigger 5 door version of the Rover 220 coupe? But obviously an MG rather than a Rover.

I think its more like a SD1 but smaller and an MG.

VITESSE baby
