The MG5 – On show at the Shanghai Auto Show


The MG5 has finally been unveiled at the Shanghai Auto Show – We were all guessing as to what the MG 5 would actually be, and it just turns out to be the old MG ZS. Still, we think it looks cool, cooler than the Focus sports, at least in the Chinese market.

If Nanjing MG are churning out the old MG range as their own, what will the MG3 be? Any guesses?

    MG 5 fantastic too see back. Please bring this in to the Uk market the MG Brand has a big market here. The MG ZS as known in the Uk is a brillant car and I would be very please to be able to go to a Uk Showroom and test drive the new ZS do not change the shape as the 550.

    If you must bring the 550 to the Uk do not consider this a replacement for the ZS. But as a new car completely.

    KEEP THE MG ZS shape.

    the 25 is based on the 200 which was a rover platfrom not honda or any one else.

    the ZS was a development of the 45 which was in tern a development of the 400 which was based on the Honda civic, minor body work and engines aside all interlectual property was either shaered or compleatly owned by honda. The saloon has different roof, boot and the rear of the Chassis is also different this is more or less all of the 45 or zs that NAIC can legally make.

    the 400, 45 and ZS were very stiff and fabulous to drive the zs 180 in particular handled almost as well as a BMW M3 which cost almost 3 times as much.
