Great photos!
The MG3 just looks wrong IMO. I'd happily have a 5 or 6 though!

I agree.. I dont like the 3, my wife was going to get one.. but I think I will convince her to get the 5 instead.. the 5 reminds me of the ZR.. and thats the car she will replacing..

The interior reminds me of BMW and VWs. Functional and even robust, but lifeless. I believe that is the way it would have had to go to compete if MGR survived. They do look like developments or facelifts. Which is probably what they should have looked like when the facelifts occurred. Dont think they would have survived though........

I like the look of the 5 but those 3s look so different to the British/European version. I wouldn't have bought one if it looked like that!

I see on the 750 / 75 that they have done away with the handbrake lever..now a electrically button operated parking brake. Not liking the interior or the rear re-design...too anonymous

I spoke to a few people whilst I was there, and everyone is "happy" with the "new" model MG's - 3, 5, 350 & 550... but say the 750e is the best by far.. they call that one British... the ones in the photo's are V6's and a 1.8T.. going back to the spares dept this week.. see whats what..

Just wondering what the rules are re getting a 750 over here as a grey import?

That would cause a stir at the next nano meet !
