A barely changed old knacker with a wildly optimistic sticker price, to be punted by unenthusiastic dealers who know nowt offering >20% discounts.

SAIC should come to the US, but likely they will wait to long and let several others beat them to the punch...then they'll simply be an also ran in a very crowded field here.

A car launched only 2 years ago on a brand new chassis etc. Not a car made from two Metros glued together designed over 10 years ago and facelifted about 5 times by the Brits and now the Chinese. It will however sell, because the MG badge has so much love. However the motoring press will slate it over here. In China, well with so little competition....if the pricing is right then you guys may get to experience the fun this car is. Now do not get me wrong, it is a fun car to drive (my brother had one) but it is old fashioned, expensive and behind the best in class. The price is far too high, nearly the price of an MX-5.
