Yeah...it is pretty sad....I understand from about a week ago they want to build MGF under licience and one Rover sedan to replace the Hillman Hunter based thing they have been produciing....

Cecil Kimber is rolling in his grave....sad day for MG enthusiasts if the 100 year old name goes off shore.... :? :(

But it did mention in the article that they wanted to take over the British plant, so that's not as bad as making the MG in Tehran or something!!

Reminds me of a "Martin-Molloy" Radio sketch - they were advertising a new car the Tamil Tiger GL Hatchback

"With a powerful 4 litre, 6 Cylinder 15 megaton engine"

"You'll feel like you're floating on air, then, without warning, you will be"

"The most economical weapon of mass destruction ever built"


and so on. Piss funny (and not quite so tasteless since it was before the world turned to crap).
