With Roewe's beautiful 450, there will be more distinction between the two model lines when they are all up and running, attracting different buyers. Outside of China, I think Roewe will be the one needing to catch up to MG.

Roewe or "Rong Wei" doesn't have that 'ring' to it! On looking closely at both the 750 and the 7 there are many similarities as they are both based on the same base but there are different problems for both. The 750 retains much of the original 75 architecture with a revised front bumper moulding which works but the rear end modifications look like a poor copy of a Volvo or a 'wannabe' 7 Series Beemer which its not. The dash is an improvement to the inside, however the dash displayed on another SAIC stand was even better! The MG retains much of the old ZT except the rear lights which may be a minus to some peoples eyes.Offering three different versions of the 7 also confuses with the Mark One, Mark Two Face lift and a 75 Limo with the 'premium' grille will no doubt confuse the Brits no end!Also for me the 7L with all the wood seems out of place in what is a sporting model and not the luxury one the 750 portrays.The situation with Roewe and MG reminds me of when Rolls Royce and Bentley were 'split up' and for a while both models vied for attention in the same market before revealing different designs in opposing directions. Perhaps the coupe could be introduced as an MG rather than a Roewe and also they maybe should join forces ala MG Rover and become MG Roewe!
