"Despite being arguably less pretty than the MG ZR and MG ZT in terms of external appearance"
I always thought the ZS was the better looking of the lot...

I know I am being incredibly stupid and at least the motor and the badge still exists but when they market it as 'Modern Gentleman' it hurts to have them picking over the remains of a name and badge I love. Gonna stop now cause I look more stupid by the minute.

Exactly my thoughts too, they are only MG's in name and not in spirit or heritage. It is a complete basterdisation of the badge and an insult to our intelligence that they think they can flog a dead horse back to a country they practicaly pillaged and raped of it's remaining car industry assets - the basterds.

Word on the grapevine (at Nissan design centre I am still intouch with a lot of the Longbridge lads who now work in Warwich for our little yellow skined friends) and they may look similar, but the build quality is so poor, that if you slam the boot, the rear doors fall open, and it crash tests badly.

Not sure if that makes me smug or sad. Smug that the forefathers were doing the right thing in the first place. We knew how it should be built. Sad that the MG badge sinks further into the quagmire. Maybe it would have been better to finally let it die.

On a more cheerful note (maybe), did you know that whoever buys Jag and Land Rover, has the right to use "Rover" again. Lets hope they won't be made in bloody Chanai - India

Have you seen the new MG7 with the premium bumper? The chrome insert for this bumper is no longer available. Looking at the photographs from Nanjing it appears that they have used part of the chrome from the boot lid plus some other bits instead.

Its a bit poor that they couldn't have made some spats - even made of wood with a skim of filler, I suppose they didn't have the craftsmen there to manage it ileofpoo:
