Not only does the company no longer make sports cars but even the current sedans are absent from the North American market. Are the current MGs worthy of their sporting heritage?

I really did hope that the MGF would be marketed here, the huge market would have perhaps saved the sporting side of MG, but sadly it was not.George Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15375041586503979232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-838085020802983098.post-64833889873315912592012-02-05T19:22:26.119-08:002012-02-05T19:22:26.119-08:00Should've stick with the MGF ...Should've stick with the MGF ...isleofwightlenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09683338208998620369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-838085020802983098.post-15600782777637199632012-02-05T12:13:32.276-08:002012-02-05T12:13:32.276-08:00Probably one of the most expensive phrases in the ...Probably one of the most expensive phrases in the Chinese language is "free but totally screwed up car company".
