I still have images of the SAIC representatives sitting patiently waiting for the fire sale, rather than investing in MG Rover as was.
Three cylinder turbo dragging around a huge bloated ugly body, I'd rather take the bus thanks

Not really a fire sale as anything of importance was already signed over to Nanjing, bad business on the old owners not to realise what they had already sold. SAIC the current owners had nothing to do with what happened. The three cylinder turbo unit performs really well, as good as any built by Ford, Hyundai and Vauxhall etc, well maybe not Vauxhall as they use the MG unit. The 1 litre 3 cylinder turbo actually has 111 bhp which is one more than our 2.0 turbo diesel MINI so rather capable really. If anybody dislikes the cars that’s fine but please, have a go in one and see what they are really like and you might be surprised.
