I have had the MG ZS EV for 11 months.

 

Absolutely wonderful! Anything negative about it would be nitpicking, although I have to say I don't think it's a beautiful looking car.

 

There was a guy in a new BMW (don't know the model) at traffic lights a few days ago who thought he could beat me. He didn't. Not even close! Very funny!

Why do you assume I am an idiot?

 

I can assure you; he was trying.

I am sure you will get an earful from all the Brits who have an emotional attachment to the brand from their youth. These MG's are not the British MGs we were al familiar with. It seems the Chine

I object to their use of the union Jack emblazened on them inferring they are British cars. Hate sales gimmicks and tricks.

I'd rather buy a used jap car than a new one from china. Just the though of a china car is repulsive.

Actually, I thought about suggesting that but decided it was too cruel. You did the dirty work for me! Thanks!

Are you aware that some Audi and Volvo models are made in China?

And that 21.36 million Volkswagens were manufactured in China in 2019?

Just stab me in the eye why don't you.

 

I'm assuming they were assembled there with parts made elsewhere.

From Wiki:

 

"Operations of Volkswagen in China include the production, sales and services of whole cars, parts and components, engines and transmission systems"

I certainly can take a joke, but your MG knocking is so, so boring and predictable. Please give us a break!

American automakers such as Buick have told the media that they don’t believe Americans care where their car is built, as long as quality stays consistent. That is why some automakers have invested in Chinese manufacturing facilities and have been testing the potential to sell Chinese-built cars in the United States in the last few years.

At least they will be VW's assembled in China under the watchful eye of the Germans, not a Chinese car using a bought British performance brand name from the Germans and using the words British and since 1924..........:whistling:

I have a Fortuner and my missus is fed up with it hence why we're getting a MG. We then have two cars.

But you quoted things and it didn't/doesn't say what you quoted. You are on some form of medication aren't you? If not then you should be. Please send a link where the online brochure claims the MG to be British. The brochure online appears to be no different to the one sitting in front of me

The MG I'm getting is just a runabout and will be used to teach my kids to drive. It's a manual.

I think you are dismissing the facts and diverting stuff to my medical condition because you cannot see the wood from the trees. ????

 

Now if you cannot see that the use of the words  'British', Brit, Passion Driving since 1924, Union Jack flags on the boot is not pointing a purchaser (you) to it being a British ride then you are deluded .

Read the brochures again, or my links in English...

I haven't got your brochure but I will post another MG link in English with British in it. Oh, below is your truck, a Chinese Maxis T70.

But yours will have all the Brit performance brand logos on it....????

Now read the link slowly and all will become clear, let me know how many 'British' you spot.

Get back on your meds mate. 

By the way MG's are also manufactured in India. So run over there and see if their brochure claim them to be British as well.

You have not read my link, now read it and tell me how many times British is mentioned.

Below is what you bought, a Maxus T70 with British badges....

Awful cars. Would not even bother sitting on one just tried to open a few doors first and they sound like they would break from a gust of wind.
