There still is hope and faith for the brand at least I think that looks a tidy motor
that looks pretty good, some big brakes on the front there

I really like it apart from the rear spoiler. Interesting news about an MG6 WRC....

WTF is going on with the union jack on there? other than that i think it looks cool, would be better if the rear diffuser was like one of those ones from a ferrari etc

don't get angry mate....we know it's a Chinese motor.
about the union jack ,it's just because that the modification job is cooperated with a UK company.

They need this on sale. And it better hadnt be a 1.8T.
Drop the black stripes, put in a decent engine (judging by the AP Racing calipers, it may have one already), and get it on sale. Cant say the interior is really doing anything for me, but its by no means atrocious. Really like the alloys.
Whats up with the union jack flags? I like them.

Whats wrong with a 1.8T? Doesnt VW/Audi use a 1.8T in most of there fast cars?

1.8T is too week....we need 2.5T !!!

looks nice, needs an lsd, 240 bhp and handling that moves the game forward from the zs.

lol..different people have different taste..I guess 2.0 T would suit most people's taste...
mattie007
04-12-10, 08:33 PM
Dont get me wrong, I hope they put a massive engine in there, but with petrol prices and mpg figures to look at, a 1.8T COULD do the job.
I want one in Le Mans Green!

I have to say I have never liked the pictures of the MG 6 although this has turned my opinion of it around, thing debadge the front smooth it out and wider arches would look mint! As Dave says it needs the proformance spec to match, somehow I cant see that happening.

[IMG]Whats up with the union jack flags? I like them.
i like them too, its not British anymore so dont stick them on
as for engines, i think they should drop the K series and go something different, and also a good Diesel too
It looks great with he mods, and not to in your face by todays standards! I think the spoiler on the 1st 6 sorts the back end out a treat, as for the bonnet vents, sweet! :P
I'v already spoken to the wife, i'm allowed a new car in 18 months time! lol

04-12-10, 09:24 PM
i love the look of that i would get one in a heart beat if it had a big enough boot to put a st bernard in but i might be out of luck there. it wont need a massive engine just look at the new skoda fabia vrs that has just a 1.4 it is supercharged and turbo charged but still only a 1.4. the 1.9 turbo diesel that is in vw/audi's would be great.

reminds me of a honda type r and thats the kind of performance it needs to sell, infact it needs more performance than that, as the type r's are a known quantity and mg's are considered 2nd rate in comparison, so being "as good as" is not enough, it needs to be better again.
I think that looks brilliant personally :)
Would love to the know the tech specs of it!
I suppose fuel consumption would be a consideration, but this looks like it should be a hot hatch. VVC or turbo? Or both?
And as for it not being British, the money is chinese, but I think enough British engineering has gone in to it to allow it the badge. Besides, looks good lol.
I've had a play around in photoshop with a few colours, will post up in a few minutes.
Based most of the colours on the Focus RS/ST ranges, as most hot hatches these days seem to be vibrant colours. Personally, I think the 6 pulls them off well.
mk2 Focus RS Green

mk2 Focus ST (ASBO) Orange
http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/25836.jpg
Perhaps not as bright as it should be, but I know a lot of you Z people like your yellow, so here you go:
http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/25837.jpg
My personal favourite, fit this with some LED running lights and a bit of 'bling' and I reckon it'd look AWESOME
http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/25838.jpg
Love it....hope its released here and has a good spec to match the current 180....then I would consider it next year instead of a mk2!!

It is a 1.8-T. Cant be seen on them pics but some other pics of seen of it the badge by the side repeater says 1.8.

Looks awesome in the black! Not sure about your fairy lights idea, but stealthy black or the original white picture is the way to go :punk:

After all the money they paid for the "K" series and the production line , I suspect it,ll have one under the bonnet .......
And thinking of China and its technology base it can think itself lucky it isnt powered by a petrol engine normally used to pump water to paddy fields in remote areas

05-12-10, 09:32 AM
looks very nice... noone's commented on the audi looking front bumper though...
The 1.8t is very easy to tune though right so surely its the better option to get things started and then maybe bring in a 2.5/3.0t monster when sales have picked up. With the way it looks if that turns up here it would sell well.

05-12-10, 09:39 AM
Glad its got a very good reception on here.
Get it released asap!
theyl;l be making money a plenty from it in china, see the police have them haha, k series isnt that bad really compared with other manufacturers engines, they will have played about with it a bit

They've played around with it alot. The K, or N-series as its now called has triple layer HG, uprated oil ladder, larger oil/coolant bores through the head/block and some other bits and bobs.
One of the TF test cars at Longbridge with the N-series fitted has apparently done over 100k miles now without any HG issues.
ive never seen a car come back to work with the triple layer gasket failed, we had some in which were done by other places and it had failed because it hadnt been done properly
to put it another way my cars now on 77,000 miles on the original head gasket, coolant immaculate, think aslong as the cooling system is up to it they dont tend to do so much

It was you two I was thinking of when I said about owners and their yellow ZS's...
And fairly lights lol, Ive not heard them called that before but yes, they are. Look good I reckon, though. Would give the car a nice modern look. And HIDs. Basically, I reckon the car will do alright with those looks as long as they give it plenty of modern toys.
Anybody want any other colours?
peterzs
05-12-10, 01:52 PM
No, you've done the best one. Thanks.
Amazing how the different colours change the look of the car, must admit the black looks stealthy.

Deffo like it in the black!! Possibly in matt black? Any ideas how much 1 of these would cost??
I couldnt get the matt black to look right, although I was trying - thinking of the FRS500 and the subaru cosworths. Will have another go later on.

Auto Express claim the MG6 should start from around ?15,000, with the flagship model around ?20,000. But hasn't been confirmed yet I believe.
Have to say from the pics, i'm quite impressed. Who is going to be the first person to buy one on the forum? ;)

As I know, the price in China range from 12,500 to 19,500 pound

Maby give a free insurance deal for young drivers lol

The beading of the gasket on the MG-R style ones will fail eventually. Nothing can be done to avoid that but i think alot of gaskets that fail prematurly are due to neglect of the coolant system.
well i think age is certainly a factor as well yeah, but agree most ones i see the rads are rotton, or fans not working, or systems been leaking, not really the gaskets fault at all
never liked the 6 thought it was a major dissapointment, but i really like the white one and would buy that

It does look awesome in white
I've been googling around and found quite a few pictures on t'interweb, and the more I see of the MG6, the more I like it...
Judging by the alloys, the AP Racing calipers and the vents everywhere, I think its safe to assume this is supposed to be the sporty version.
Judging by the 1.8 Turbo badges all over the show, if this is supposed to be the hot hatch version it makes sense that they might turn the turbo up a notch or two.
I'll link up a few pics, apologies for not referencing them all, but the links are all in the addresses if you need them.
The spoiler - I actually quite like this, I think the rear end is a weak point on the MG 6, but this seems to tart it up a treat.

This one at least suggests that its going to get rear parking sensors

Still not convinced on the vanilla rear end
http://www.autocarbe.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/big_mg_mg6_01.jpg
But I do like the front
http://www.thetycho.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/mg-6-sport-edition-china-3-458x343.jpg
These alloys get a big yes from me
http://www.aronline.co.uk/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/m_20100917153928517683.jpg
This one seems to be a concept drawing, but looks good all the same
http://www.carbodydesign.com/archive/2009/08/07-mg6-concept-design-story/MG6-Concept-rendering-lg.jpg
the saloon should be good
Even the rear of the saloon seems to be missing something

Side by side, saloon and fastback
http://www.carmagazine.co.uk/upload/23050/images/MGR4.jpg
And for God's sake, I wish they would lower the rear end. Looks like it's got it's arse in the air.
And we were right about it looking good in black, there's a chinese review of it on youtube

I think with the bigger alloys, lowered suspension and rear wing, the saloon would look 100x better.
