Including a handful of positions for former MG Rover workers? Not quite, just the 1 man. He is also the most dishonnest person I have ever met in my life. I realy hope Nanjing win the court case.

It looks a bit like the normal MG badge, but it has green 'MG' letters and if I'm correct the word 'X-Power' is on it, so you could see it now as a different badge from a different company I think.

I don't believe NAC or SAIC will go after him because a) it's not in competition with any models they are likely to produce/sell in the UK and b) it is positive for the sporting image of the brand. Good luck to him I say. One assumes that if they own the badge rights for this car then it is legal for them to produce it.

The SAIC/ NAC takeover saga, production delays and confusion over Longbridge future has lead to negative press. Frankly this William Riley seems more in touch with MG fans than SAIC a multi billion dollar company. He is also making cars in Britain. SAIC is not. Rather than get too upset about this one Guy I suggest people ask questions of SAIC and their business competance first.

This MG SV project will probably just use up the last MG-ROVER produced SV components and fizzle out. At ease SAIC-NAC! ‘Nanjing bought the assets of MG Rover for £53 million in July 2005 but, nearly three years on, is still to produce a single car for sale’

Now fortunately someone relaunched it. Only it's a bit strange, because we will get two seperate MG brands with slightly different logo's, people will mix them up.... time will tell how it will go, for me the most important fact is that the MG X-power is still alive, I love that car !!
