I think the way that they tried to shoe-horn the MG into the new product releases, was just wrong, the way it has been marketed and sold has been poor as well throughout.

I agree, they would probably have been better to avoid using MG, as lets be honest very few existing MG fans have actually got a 3 or a 6 (or kept them long), so they would not have been any worse off starting with a new brand name.

As also stated, they could then do a 'sporty version' or 2 of each of the Rowe models that were slightly more upmarket/faster/better ride etc than. sales could then have been lower as it was the 'tuning arm' of the main parent company.

But that approach would only have worked if the cars were really quite good underneath, and apart from the 3, so far that has not been what the motoring press has said... they've not been bad, but there are better alternatives out there either in terms of ride/economy/spec/budget etc
