Roewe 550/MG6 mash up spotted in Spain?
So CCT’s Spanish is not very good, but we think this means the Roewe 550 was spotted lurking in Spain:
MG ya está un poco más cerca de regresar a la vida en Europa. Manolo, uno de nuestros lectores, estaba haciendo montañismo en Sierra Nevada cuando se encontró con este curioso compañero de senda: un Roewe 550 con los logotipos tapados y varios cambios estéticos muy interesantes.El sustituto del 45/ZS, ya a la venta en China desde hace un tiempo e incluso en Chile bajo el paraguas de la propia MG, difiere del modelo oriental en varios detalles estéticos muy curiosos, centrados principalmente en la parrilla y los faros antiniebla. Si prestas atención verás que la calandra utiliza malla de plástico en lugar de barras horizontales cromadas, y deja hueco en la parte central al emblema de la firma británica. Más abajo, las luces antiniebla cambian su diseño por uno de corte redondeado.
The most interesting thing to us was the picture (above), which clearly shows a Roewe 550, but if you look around the front lip you can see the MG6 front bumper poking out from behind the cloth. MG-UK have said before that the MG6 might not be the MG6 for the UK, but it looks like the UK is getting the MG6, but perhaps under a different moniker.

excellent looking mash up but the mg6 is so much nicer than the 550
This does NOT necessarily show that ,”it looks like the UK is getting the MG6, but perhaps under a different moniker”. this does show that european sales are possibly slightly nearer.
Only we see one of these test cars in right hand drive can we assume that they are on the way to the UK. Even then, with all the false dawns that there have been, we can’t be sure.
Dont know if anyone else has noticed but this MG6 has uk plates. A quick check on the dvla shows it as a 1.8 petrol.
