Longbridge will be primarily producing the MGTF’s before shifting into production of MG7 and the MG3 range of cars - no word on the MG5 yet though. According to the stats we found, Nanjing MG UK has 140 workers on staff, of which 115 are engineers and line workers, MG are also looking for a further 250 workers for the time being. Will former MG-Rover staff be sending in their resumes? Once production of the MG7 and MG3 begins, Nanjing MG expects it will need to hire a further 800 workers to cope with demand.
Furthermore, by 2009 according to the sources we have to hand, Nanjing will have created a new sports car by 2009, some news sites are saying it will be a new two seater sports coupe i.e. a new MGTF, others are just saying a new sports car, what ever it will be China Car Times is sure that fresh designs will be welcomed by the MG + Rover communities.

I dont think the MGZS / MG5 will be in production here anytime soon, anyway Honda own the IPR's for this car, but NACMG have been in talks to use this in China only.
