Deep NAC MG insider spills beans to China Car Times
- Curse of MG strikes
- Factory shuts down for weekend
- Leaked prototype picture is a mere PR stunt
Today a deep NAC MG insider spilled the beans to China Car Times. The inside source claims that the picture of the future MG prototype is nothing but a PR stunt from NAC MG, and ZERO R&D work has been done since the fall of the once great British auto manufacturer, MG-Rover! Lotus finished their design contract to touch up the MG7 months ago, the only true R&D work going on in the NAC center is on the range of IVECO mini buses.
Our insider also went onto reveal that Nanjing MG have only received orders for 600 cars to date (and only sold 300), despite the media claims of over 3000 vehicle orders and deposits since the launch of the MG7 several months ago. Demand is clearly not what NAC MG are hoping for, NAC MG are allegedly laying the blame on a lack of dealerships around China, and the current fuel crisis (which seems to have all but abated now) the lack of sales has allowed (un)lucky NAC MG staff have their first weekend off in two years as the factory has STOPPED producing cars last weekend. NAC MG allegedly said the factory will stop producing due to the electricity company doing work on the powerlines in the area, however, the company next door, Dyson, experienced no power loss due to the claimed electricity maintanence. Furthermore, our source says production at the NAC MG factory will be stopped temporarily next Monday and Tuesday, due to a lack of work.
Is this the MG curse striking again? Can MG play catchup, or do they need the help of SAIC now?

TO SELL A FAILED BRAND NAME SPORTS CAR IS NOT AN EASY TASK!
GOSSIP OR SMALL TALKS DO NOT HELP.
IF SOMEONE CAN OFFER SOME CONSTRUCTIVE THOUGHTS, MG MAY
LAST FOREVER.
UNDESIRABLE I MEAN THE PREVIOUS MG OWNER mAY BE HAVE
SOME ONE LLIKE mr.DONALD TRUMP,A BILLIONARE,IN THEIR MIND.
ACTUALY CHINESE ENGINEERS SHOULD MAKE THE MG BURN VEG. OIL AND USE SOME FEATURES OF THE TRICYCLE AND SELL IT TO THE VAST MAJORITY PEOPLE,INCLUDING SOME OF THE HINDU INDIAN,FILIPINO,BANGALDASH,THAI,HIGH MOUNTAIN SHAARBA ETC. SINCE tHEIR CITIES NEED SMALL, ECONOMIC,AND VERSATILE CARS. THEY HAVE BEEN USING BOTH MANUAL
AND MOTORIZED TRICYCLES for 60 years. THE OLD mG IS A VERY SIMPLE AND EFFICIENT CAR THAT SHOULD BE THE MODEL TO FOLLOW!
BRITISH HAS ANOTHER GOOD CAR,COOPER, BUT RATHER EXPENSIVE.
David has your valium supply run out?
clearly.
CHINA AND CHINESE NEED HONEST CRITICISM. BUT TOO MANY INVESTORS AND POWERFUL FIGURES AVOID TO MENTION THE BIG ISSUES SUCH AS WATER,SOIL,AIR POLUTIONS,NO SYSTEM TO CONTROL HAZARDOUS CHEMICALS,IGNORE THE FARMERS’HEALTH BY EXPORTING HERBS, ALLOWING THE PROMOTION OF FAKE MEDICINES OR MEDICAL GADGETS (MADE LOCALLY OR FROM JAPAN OR OTHER PLACES),ALLOWING THE JUNK FOODS TO PREVAIL(PARTICULARLY THE JAPANESE INVENTED INSTANT RAMIEN NOODLES,AND FOOD ADDITIVES ETC.) ACTUALLY MANY INVESTORS EXPORTED THEIR OWN PROBLEMS TO CHINA, THRU MANY OF THE GREEDY,IGNORANT AND EXTREME SELFISH CHINESE. ***SORRY I NEVER TAKE ANY MEDCINE MADE FROM CHEMICALS EXCEPT ANACIN AND AIRBORN ( A COLD MEDICINE). SINCE CHINA HAS VERY FEW PETRO FUEL AND 30 MILLION AUTOMOBILE IN CHINA IS NOT IMPOSSIBLE TO BURN VEG.OIL. ACTUALLY MANY PLACES DID USE VEG OIL FOR THE AUTO ENGINE(FROM A RAPE PLANT SEEDS) DURING THE WWII, ABOUT 60 YRS AGO. MG’S STRENGTH IS THE CAR HAS A VERY EFFICIENT ENGINE AND CAN BE BUILT WITH LESS MONEY. AND THE VAST MAJORITY NEED SUCH KIND OF CAR.
Cars /trucks are the big polluters, and eat away a large amount of precious resources directly or indirectly.
So a 4- cylinder MGb with some modifications could be an ideal vehicle and very economical to maintain.
With veg oil(less pollution,easy to handle,and good for engine life,easy for farmers),and borrow some things from WV beetle or MB 300 diesel turbo,The MG 4-cylinder could be the best car.
The new Nac MG just looks like any other car no uniqueness, does not stand out.
Particularly China does not have a new, presentable image in the car industry yet. Selling a British brand name with Chinese as the cater is not that easy!
looks like a rationalization of chinese manufacturers of automotive is needed like what happened innthe west years ago perhaps only 1 or 2 can survive
