MG6
« on: 20 May 2012, 19:44:49 »

Followed one today for a few miles, I'm not sure if I like it or not  :-\ :-\
It's the first one I've seen on the road. I don't think I'd ever buy the new MG. I'd hate the thought that what I was driving was made in China. I don't trust the little buggers at all  :(
What do other's think of them & have you seen one yet? Sales can't be very good as they've been around for a while now  ::)

Saw one a couple of Months ago in Basildon, looked good, but then I clocked one the other day and it was ugly  ;D. I wouldn't buy a car the Chinese have made.

Doing alright in the BTCC. Think it's a good first attempt.

Quality Control.  :o :o :o

Problem with cars and motorbikes, but I'm told they are gradually getting better.  ???

Their quality being the main reason, have you ever seen this?

I had not. I would say that's a valid reason! Surely if they're going to be selling cars in Europe though they'll have to pass the European safety standards?
