MG returns!

Nice car shame about the British Leyland paint job...

Nice car, but why did they choose to paint it in Austin Allegro "harvest gold"? I'll eat my foot if this car ever get's produced at Longbridge, but if it does, I hope they do an automatic so I can then drive one. Not sure about the quality of the first batch of UK cars though, seeing as the large car production line and paint shop has been sat idling for 5 years...Come on MGUK we have waited long enough for some real news, tell us when this car will be made here and do us a favour, let's have some pics of it in a colour anyone would even consider buying

Awful!!!

Looks like a Proton with an MG badge on it. Cheap and nasty. Was quite looking forward to seeing the car, but this is terrible.

Sort these photos!

This is 2009 - why the awful photo distortions - MG 6 looks better than these!

Harvest gold?

Your memory is VERY bad if you think this is harvest gold. Sush concern about the colour - is James a girls name too?

I was very lucky to see the exciting secret new cars coming from the MGR and SAIC tie up. The cars were stunning, aggresive yet elegant saloons with LED lights and flared arches. We also had a 4x4 (a Black ReXton 4x4 with MG grill bumpers lights and badges, it actually looked fantastic) Agree with above this looks like a cheap old proton. What a let down

You can stick a Jaguar badge on a Kia, but it don't make it a Jaguar!

MG needs a rethink before coming back to the UK

What a good effort by the Chinese!
It looks fantastic and looks like a winner, except ONE thing.
The Engine.
Previous MG's were good cars but the engine was a rubbish thing.
Power was dismal and economy was not there.
Take the engine back to the drawing board and redesign it be powerful and efficient.
The styling looks like that that four-door coupe of the Golf.
Hideous!

MG needs a rethink before coming back to the UK Part 2

DONT BRING IT TO THE UK EVER AGAIN

Who can tell how good it looks? The pictures are so badly distorted, it's impossible to judge. The overall impression though is of an un-appealing, non-European, generic Korean/Malaysian styled car. Very disappointing indeed.

MG Rethink

i think the 2004 model ZS was a much better looking car than this new MG6. looks like a cheap car from the photos, which is a shame.

the K series was a great engine with a poor head gasket design which caused most of the problems. the 1.4 non cat engine put out 105 BHP in the early 90's which was more than some 1.6's. and fuel ecomomy while not great is on par with other engines of the era. Lotus and Caterham did'nt use the engine for nothing!
