[Mgs] MG6 Review

[Barrie Robinson]

I always have difficulty with comfort for "re-emergence" of past 
marques.    The current "MG" designers, owners, engineers and such 
have had as much contact with things real MG as I have - and thus 
cannot claim to be a "successor".   The thought of Chinese MGs does 
not sit well and there can be no way the breed lives.  Cecil Kimber 
must be rotating like a generator in his grave!!
