Mg zs / xs
 
1 Attachment(s)
Had a poke around one today at Brysons MG in Prestwick.

I know they won't be to everyone's taste but I thought it was very very good.
It looks really stylish, very comfortable inside and the trim quality I thought was excellent.Sadly it couldn't be driven - display only- however i will certainly test drive one in November.

According to the chap there will be two engine's, a 1 litre and a 1.5 litre both turbocharged.

Both
 
Sat in both the XS and GS at East Kirkby Rover Rally. Have to say I liked them both. Seem good value for money considering all the kit you get with them.

Alas the one I really like ( top of range GS is way beyond my car budget)

I know a lot of folk on here think they are awful but it is along the lines of what is required to meet standards and also the type that sells
Woukd Rover be producing anything much different if they were still around?

Looks very VW inside, the steering wheels is very similar to a golf as is the heater controls. I like them though both this and the GS are nice

According to a friend who works in the engine development dept at Longbridge the 169bhp 1.5-litre turbo thats fitted to the new ZS will drop straight into a MG3..
Now there's fun with a capital F..

At one point it was rumoured that this was on the cards, it would have been a proper hot hatch, akin to the Metro Turbo :drool4:

Problem it seems is that the powers that be at MG have little or no interest in the maques sporting heritage. The MG6s are only being run in the BTCC this year because it was a 3 year deal. Shame because while the 6 was never going to be a sporting car I can't help thinking that a quick MG3 would help the sales a lot and if MG had gone ahead with the MG3 trophy race series

sales could really be much better.

The MG sales staff at Snetterton yesterday reckoned that they were planning on using the XS as a replacement for the MG6 in the BTCC next year. Not sure if that was just sales talk but it would be good if it happened - with this years BTCC results I was surprised that they were even thinking of carrying on - or is that the third year of the deal?
