The 'new' MG by Geoffrey

I see yesterday's Times carried quite an extensive article on the latest Longbridge episode, announcing the use of the production line of the 75 for cars 80% of which are to be made in China and assembled at Longbridge by a work force of about 40.
The heading of the article is 'It's an MG, but would Austin Powers drive it? The British marque is back, with a family-friendly face'

Later comments include the following:

'In its hatchback version it is designed for a family of five [...] it is somewhere between a Focus and a Mondeo but, with a price tag of between £17,000 and £20,000 it aims to lure the punter who thinks he has too much class for a Ford but who can't afford a BMW. It will be produced on the same production line as the old Rover 75, but they'd rather you didn't call it a Rover makeover.'

This all sounds depressingly familiar. Any news from other sources ???

Check out MGs own Facebook page for all the latest news straight from the horses mouth, including first pics of the MG6 saloon. Much better looking than the hatchback in my humble opinion :D
