[Mgs] The Chinese guys don't get it

[Don]

Maybe it's beautiful and we are too old or of the wrong culture to 
appreciate it.  Just like music; one tends to favor the things of 
his/her youth.  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.  I have a fellow 
from Honduras who assists me on taking care of my place.  He is the 
same age as me, 63, who came to the US about 15 years ago.  He thinks 
my MGs are ugly, and likes the looks of new Toyotas and Hondas.  I 
wonder if that may be because he didn't see MGs or similar cars when 
he was a kid and young adult.
