FWIW, I spoke with an Economic Development guy at the Oklahoma City Chamber
of Commerce last week who was at the news conference last Wednesday. This
is indeed happening, though I have no added detail.

Subject: RE: China to build new MG's
Nope John,
Just snooped around on the topic, and the story you sent out was from august
of last year, and the announcement was made on Wednesday this past week that
they will in fact be building the car in Oklahoma starting in late 2008.
Only the coupe model will be built in the US, the TF roadster will be built
in the old Longbridge Rover factory in the UK. The car is being built from
design plans from the company prior to the financial collapse, so hopefully
it will be a quality product.
