Saw the new machine in Brighton couple of months ago, I felt it was mainly well finished, I thought there were some ripples in a plastic window trim detail and in conversation understood it had the K series but lost its variable valve timing ......but looked sound. Designed here.....80% chinese ...... but built here. Not quite a screw driver factory, not quite a manufacturing plant, may be just a pragmatic unit of production. Is this a phoenix that may fly, no longer parasitised by its hydra?
@magna59 The variable valve timing (VVC) was only on certain hot Rover/MGs, but most of the k series engines dont have this system (as it would be very costly to run). Im actually a fan of the K series, and when properly maintained and looked after, they are fantastic and are reliable if you regularly check the coolant (like any other car). Yes most of the car comes as a kit from china, however i dont know how they have the cheek to say its made in Britain, when 80% isnt!
MG designers are idiots because all this advert does is show how much better older designs look than newer ones. If I were MG I would just use the same MGB design and stick new hardware in it rather than waste time marketing another crap run about that looks the same as all the rival company models!
@shalmaneser Excactly, doesn't make you want an MG6 thats for sure! The MGB shames it so hard it's almost a joke that they put them in the same advert.
yay :D

MGB are cool, one of my all time faves, but i'd like to give a MG6 a go. Looks like a great little run about.

Pragmatic unit of production, or PUP for short, depressingly, and for all the wrong reasons, the old dogs are recieving tutorage in new trick.

I actually love this ad, and the car. They pitched it just right. Awesome. Not 'generic and bland', I would call it understated.
