That'll be Union blue with some white vinyl stuck on top, then! Looks like its progressing nicely, though...

Ooh. Union Blue, lovely colour! My favourite, infact.

I don't understand the double selling of both MG550 and MG6. The 550 just looks awkward compared to the 6, especially when there's a saloon MG6 on offer, why not just ditch the badly rebadged 550?

I was there for MG Enthusiast, you'll be able to read what I thought in the next issue of the mag.

I will say I was impressed, it's a solid car with plenty of potential...

The interior looks a lot better than the MG6, I reckon...

I rather like that...

I also love the fact that the lights for the concept are wired into a good old, British, three pin plug...

That looks brilliant...

Did around 130 miles in an MG6 TSE yesterday, seriously impressed with it. It's not perfect, but in terms of dynamics, it's very, very good. The pricing offers serious value for money, too.

Great damping, superb steering, neat handling too. I am putting together a big 5 pager for MG Enthusiast so I can't say too much. Those of you that have doubted the new line of MGs, get down to a dealer and try one...

The video was produced by the photographer I was working with on the day for AROnline, it's a great little video...

Actually, it might just be me, but I can see a bit of resemblence between the Magnette and the 6...

I am at Longbridge for the press briefing tomorrow. I will try and post up the info as I get it-obviously my written commitments take a precedent, but if I can help you chaps out, I will do.

From CCT:







Livery is very similar to WTCC BMWs, but I think it looks great and very suitable to a BTCC entry...

EDIT: And I love the new front bumper, looks superb...

That picture is from the UK Design Launch opening a few months back.

If you're in Quebec can I borrow your ZS?

The 3 is really growing on me, I really want to see some nice sharp press pics and I hope we get a 3 door for the UK market.

I believe MG are talking to Sky about getting it hosted online.

Shame its lost some of the Zero's bonnet styling. Too expensive for production perhaps?

I've driven the 6 on two occasions, gently round Longbridge with Guy Jones sat next to me, and as fast as I could up Goodwood hill. I felt if anything, the 6 was too quiet. It missed the rasp of my old ZS. I've driven an awful lot of cars this year ranging from an Audi R8 Spyder, all the way through to a 1959 Ghostbusters Miller Meteor Cadillac Ambulance, and thought the the 6 was a great car, well built and suitably hushed.

Here's my report on the Zero

Lets hope the 6 is a success over here and the wait for the 3 will be that bit quicker-the dealers are desperate for the 3.

That's me, that is!




Interesting time with MG, the Zero looks great in the metal.

As for Windy's question about the indicator on the wing, it's been replaced by (sadly cheap looking) plastic grille.


I'm putting a report together for AROnline, so I'll post links up when it's online. Very impressed by the 6 though. I'll take a TSE, in red, please!

I should point out too that only four of us there were journalists...

OK, no probs. I'll see what I can do.

No probs. I'm taking my camera so I'll bung some snaps up, too.

Just need to convince Guy and Doug to give me one as a long-term tester now!

Ah, OK, I like the way they've changed what I said!

Yes, I am off to the NEC on Thursday for an advance preview, so I'll post links etc. here for you guys.

That's hilarious-I wonder where they found my quote from? That's really made me laugh. I wonder what the original English was? As far as I know I've not written anything about the special editions, but I think I talked about the orange paint in my Goodwood FoS test drive. Thanks for the link Windy, that's made my day,

Found these on the Chinese MG website, in the Car Club section:





The red reminds me of the Rover 200 BRM LE, I think it looks ace, really lifts the interior. Hopefully its a sneak preview of what will be on offer come launch.

Can't find any larger pics, I'm sure 'secret SAIC employee' ( ) Windy will find some better pics!

But Jeez, how dull is the other forum at the moment, its not even worth lurking on. The same few banging on about how crap a car is with no experience of it! Good lord, it gives your ****hole tooth ache!

Perception is a funny thing, isn't it. I recently blogged about how MINI should drop all the Union flag stuff from their cars because it's not British anymore. MINI a 'British' brand beloved by so many doesn't employ a single UK designer, or have a design office in the UK, yet the German developed, Austrian built Countryman is advertised with Union Jacks applenty.

MG gets a kicking in certain quarters for its Chinese parentage yet its design is British-what goes on in peoples heads?

Uff. Rant over...

Is the sheepskin carpet UAE only or will it make the UK option list?

Wow. Very interesting, would love to see some clearer shots of it, really like the wing intakes, not too sure about the bonnet vents, the spoiler looks good too.
