I have a coworker who drives a chevy equinox. The engine and tranny is made wholely in China. He has had nothing but trouble with it in the two years he has had it. He told me a few weeks ago he is paying extra on it to get upside so he can trade it off.

Your coworker's experience suggests, that perhaps the old jingle about British cars may follow the MG brand to China and Oklahoma:

Drive British, drive the best!
Drive a mile, walk the rest!

I first heard that while assisting in the good deed pushing a broken-down MG out of an intersection in Philadelphia's Society Hill neighborhood when I was a grad student at Penn in the 80's. (It was the other chap who was helping push, not the driver, who said it.)
