Shanghai Maple, a sub brand of Geely, have finally made a car that actually looks pretty good! Previous Maples were of dubious designs, perhaps relating back to their issue of borrowed designs (namely the Citroen ZX), but this latest refit actually makes the old girl look good again.
The Maple is set to be priced between 40,000rmb and 60,000rmb, so essentially its a bargain bin car, and for that price, we think it actually looks pretty good. Technology wise, its basic, but it does have ABS+EBD, air conditioning, and a single unit CD/Radio. You cant go wrong for the money!
Nanjing MG bought Rover group with the dream of opening the first global Chinese auto manufacturer, their dream seems to be being realized with factories in England, China, and possibly Russia, and Oklahoma USA if they ever get around to it.
Those guys down under wont miss out on some MG action either, it seems the MGTF and the MG7 have found a distributer in New Zealand so far. Check out the Kiwi distributer here!
We wonder why Australia doesn’t have an MG dealer yet?
