Years of pain staking waiting is about to come to an end for MG fans the world over, as April 20th marks the day that MG will launch its first new car since the unpleasentness of MG-Rovers bankruptcy in 2005.

The first car from MG, is set to be the MG6 which will sit under the current MG7 (nee Rover 75), and will be a hatchback. It is expected that the MG6 will be a hatch version of the Roewe 550, and will also come with a 1.8 Turbo engine, and a 1.8 naturally aspirated DVVT model.

The Roewe 550 is a China Car Times favorite, and it is expected that the MG6 will also become a favorite of CCT’s, probably due to its branding more than anything else. Pictures that are rumoured to be the MG6 have been floating around the net for quite some time.

Pricing of the MG6 is expected to be from 110,100rmb to 160,000rmb when it hits the market.

An MG MPV is also expected to hit the market in 2010, although what an MG MPV might look like, given MG’s sporting heritage, is another matter altogether.
