if they want to get the cars established and selling over here they should give the likes of this club a couple
of different models for a year to take to shows etc and drum up some interest in them they would get far more feedback on what owners want from a car then just trying to sell us something people wont touch |

it needs more word going about mg and more signs that longbridge is doing something.... the car can be a start for them but they need to be more active in pushing the name out there to those who don't read mg stuff , which i do seeing as we have a F and very into things from longbridge .... etc and active in Mg events seeing as we both are involved in the local MG group and Bev is the club sec. and i take photos..... so nowt new there the mg6 drives fine but it needs to get the word out about and get more MG's coming out ...

These things take time. I think they have a much slower timescale than people would normally have. A couple of years may not be a great deal to the new owners but a lot to MG fans. I think they will be bringing out a smaller car the mg3 soon. Realistically it might challenge Kia and Hyundai in 10 years and they will no doubt know that a couple of years won't matter too much to them.

Shame they didn't replace Andy Neate as they could have won the constructors championship as well. Although I believe Andy Neate paid for his seat in the team If anyone from here is going to Brands on Sunday 21st and wants to say hello I'll be in and around the inside of druids wearing my Mg cap That'll be me And this is Andy Neates Mg6 taken at Snetterton in August

I think the fact remains that there is nothing special about the MG6 to tempt folks away from the most established and less risky brands. They'd probably do better to make a really hot version (KV6?) which probably wouldn't sell well but would improve the profile of the remaining range, touring cars is at least a step in that direction though.

Indeed, they need to get an oil burner out a.s.a.p and a warmed over version to raise their profile.
Get the Mg3 on sale as well and then get some more advertising going If Jason does bring home the championship on Sunday.........Milk it for all it's worth
