Naaa Don. B That car is butt-ugly. B Reminds me of a couple-year-old Ford
Focus. B e.g. the 'hot hatch' teenager market.
But what you say is true. B I'm old and although an exotic car guy, the new
Corvette and even the latest offerings from Maranello look to me like plastic
kit-cars. B Full scale Hot Wheels.

Subject: [Mgs] The Chinese guys don't get it
Maybe it's beautiful and we are too old or of the wrong culture to
appreciate it.B Just like music; one tends to favor the things of
his/her youth.B I love '50s rock 'n roll, but rock music from about
1980 on sounds like the Chinese MG looks- awful.
It would be interesting to get feedback from people of different ages
and cultures as to how they view the Chinese MG.B I have a fellow
from Honduras who assists me on taking care of my place.B He is the
same age as me, 63, who came to the US about 15 years ago.B He thinks
my MGs are ugly, and likes the looks of new Toyotas and Hondas.B I
wonder if that may be because he didn't see MGs or similar cars when
he was a kid and young adult.
