Please forgive me for my sins - but I just cannot see me ever buying
a Chinese MG. No matter which way you look at it the MG strain will
never pass on. Rolex watches are copied by Chinese manufacturers so
if Rolex sold out to them then the "fakes" would be genuine Rolex
watches - uh?. The idea of me looking at the build plate and seeing
"Made in China" just gives me the shivers. Rather I would buy a
Miata which as its own and genuine pedigree. And this from an
ancient user of MGs - my first car was a brand new MG TD which I
loved (and still do) and currently an MGB GT V8.
