A true MG,now that is difficult to define. Honda didn't bother with a saloon version of their HH-H because the car was designed for continental Europe who favour hatchbacks,only the UK favour saloons hence Rover pressed ahead with it. Interiors remained the same in either variant and you could argue that the dark hue of the MGZS made it more bland and boring than the more colourful options of the 400/45. The MGZS is a beautiful looking car but you cant make a silk purse out of a pigs ear,the foundation has to be right, and thats the 400. Anyway its all in the eye of the beholder but a few tweeks cant turn dishwater into champagne.
