News on a new ZS from Wikipedia...???

Apparently there is to be a new ZS constructed in 2008 that is "identicle" to the latest model. Does anyone have any more info on this?

Script from Wikipedia

The MG 5 is a current production car which will be sold as an MG and built by the Chinese Nanjing Automobile Group. It is identically to the MG ZS, which was produced by predecessor organisation MG Rover until that firm went bankrupt in April 2005. It is due for launch in 2008, though the Chinese newspapers reported that NAC has confirmed whether the car will be built in Longbridge Britain or China. It is designed to compete against the likes of the Ford Focus and Volkswagen Golf, and may also be sold as an Austin.

In addition to the TF, Nanjing also showed off its MG 7 and MG 5 models (below), also based on former British designs. I liked the looks of the MG 5 (pictured), which is powered by a 2.0-liter diesel. The model draped on the sporty blue machine wasn't too bad, either.

im suprised they are going into production. i though Honda took back all of the tooling when Longbridge shut, they still own the intelectual rights to the design

Stunning!!! Out of all the models i'd say the Mk2 ZS is my favourite (well bar the SV!!!)

Pity about the 'pea-shooter' exhaust and silly cover for it though....
