I just saw the new MG7 on display here in Shenzhen and it’s a head – turner. Lots of nostalgic touches like white piping on black leather bucket seats, a very retro instrument cluster, and well-built. Its as sporty as it looks!

Good work, China!

what i want to know, is when the MG’s are coming back to Great Britain. The MG range was popular, and still is, i think that the new range is gonna be big seller, and i thjink they shouldn’t wait till 2008 to release them, i think they should bring them in for winter 2007.
#i had the ZR+ and it ran like a princess, it was flawless, and it was certainly a head turner…

the more i think about it, these photos must be of a car made from MGR leftovers. The dash is standard r75, the clocks are from the r75 Contemporary SE and the seats are from a low spec 75. the wheels are from sub 190 spec ZTs. In fact, the only part i think is new is the chromed boot lid handle with the MG badge – on the ZTs, these were body coloured.

i think i must get out more!

As an owner of a 1972 MGB for the last 25 years, I just hope that any MG entrance into the US market does not end up like Sterling did. I was excited when BMW took over MG-Rover, only to be terribly disappointed. Now I just hope Nanjing can get the quality right and not stray from what makes an MG an MG.

Seen on autoexpress website a picture of a completely unchanged TF front view. Looking at the nacmg.com site, it looks as though it will get a revised back end.

The car plate according to the article says that is made in China. Nanjing probably just used some old spares they had.

I think the MG7 in the pictures is a Longbridge Plant made model. Why would NAC MG make a car with the Rover Brand on it, when its an MG?

and that V6 badge looks more like an upside down g than a 6.

Also, look at that poll on this site, 13 people have voted in favour of the MG 7 over the Roewe.

Personally I’m more of a Roewe fan.

Brum Brum, I think this car has the potential to do well in China – with some alterations such as the adding of ICE systems – in car DVD etc and even a GPS system.

At the moment, I don’t think a Chinese punter would choose the MG7 over a decent V6 2.5 Mondeo.

Anyway, this is probably one of their prototypes the y rushed out for testing. Look at the dials, and the missing door panels for a start. Dont even need to mention the badging looks like it was put on a by a blind man in a rush.

This looks more like my Rover 75 Contemporary SE – let’s hope the MG, when we finally see some genuine photos, looks like an MG!

I am 99% certain that is simply an ex-Longbridge car with only the cosmetic exterior alterations carried out in China.

However, interesting to note the use of a Rover 75, rather than an MG ZT, for this example. The Rover dials and wood trim suggest that Nanjing do not intend to differentiate their MG-badged car as MG Rover did.
