Did Nanjing MG revive the Rover RDX60 project? Check spy pictures below. According to Sohu news, the below pictures are of the Nanjing MG3 testing in the tropical island of Hainan off the Chinese coast. Some people are saying that this is the Brilliance/Zhonghua A1 what do you think?
Check out the below pictures, the Rover RDX60 is on the left, and the new Nanjing MG3 on the left. Click to see bigger versions.
What do we think? We think if Nanjing MG are going to resurrect the RDX60 over the Rover 25/MGZR then we think Nanjing MG might just have a trump card over Roewe and their plans to make the Roewe 250 (also based off the Rover 25) later this year. We hope we can see this at Shanghai Auto Show!
Sources: Thanks to MG-Rover Forums for pointing this one out.
You are fooled, those comments in mgr forum only care about rover/mg or roewe, and with little knowledge on Chinese market. The car is obviously a Zhonghua A1, it’s very different from rover25 series.
You should blame those fools at Sohu too:

Also that RDX60 picture you have is unlikely to be based on any real car, it’s a pretty bad photoshop that apparentely resulted from the frustrations of MG-R staff at the MG-R management.

“MGR’s stylists’ frustrations with RDX60 inactivity led to this ‘leaked’ image being sent to the UK media. It was supposed to be a wake-up call…”
Look at the rear wheel it’s a photoshop, done rather quickly..
I knew the image was a mock up - however, it was the one that most clearly showed the shared lines on the side of the car.
In my opinion its too much to be a coincidence!
It certainly would be interesting if Nanjing started developing the RDX60, as we’d have SAIC and Nanjing evolving the same project….
The RDX60 project is different than the Rover drawing shown here. Recently a prototype in clay has been found in the plant of Londbridge. It has nothing to see with the Brillance A1 prototype shown here either. At least we only see the bodycoach and the lines and size have almost nothing in common.
It sounds clear to me that this article deals not with 1 but 3 cars: the real RDX60 totally absent here, the Rover drawing which is just a drawing and the Birllance A1.
