Shouldn't this be called the "MSG"?

A piece of junk when the Brits made it, only beaten by anything from Fiat.

The Chinese will not find success in selling anything (especially cars) directly to the American public until they (as a group) lose the arrogance that blinds them to the idea of actually learning anything from any non-chinese person.

I have a business which deals in automotive electronics, some of it imported, some of it of Chinese origin. But I get almost daily solicitations from Chinese companies courting our business and you should see the way the write, the way they approach business and even their websites. They're insulting, the assume a level of knowledge they've no chance of achieving this decade and they have no clue how their actions are seen by a typical white anglo saxon protestant. The refuse to hire interpreters even while spending serious bucks on websites, newsletters and marketing campaigns that are so full of factual, grammatical and cultural errors that it's just absurd.

There is a core believe in the group of Chinese 'industrialists' that you can just see oozing from the pores. The apparently believe themselves so smart and so good at anything that they'll run through this 2 Billion in financing before they sell the first 10,000 cars.

Look at those photos? What a piece of crap for styling.

The best thing the chinese can do for us is to start dealing MORE directly with the American public instead of just selling their wares through Walmart and other retail outlets they can hide behind.

Why would the Chinese government buy a bankrupt British company and then set it up in the United States to make product that hasn't sold and the communist government has never made successsfully?

This will never make money and is being done purely for political and other reasons -- to be able to influence peddle legally semi-legally and illegally.

Dang. At first I thought MG meant machine gun. That's a relief.

It'll be a cold day in hell before I buy a car made by a Chinese company.

My first car back in '64 was a used MGA. The entire wiring system burnt out spontaneously within the first week that I had it. It took about 3 months to find another wiring harness, and it was fixed just in time for winter.

Then came the months of having to shovel the snow out of my front seat every time it snowed because of those damn sliding windows.

Then, towards the end of the winter, I rolled it.
