The MGB was a massively outdated and unreliable car and quite fittingly was booted out of the international market by Datsun/Nissan and other Jspanese manufacturers.

4 pot indeed!

Strange how the USA imported most of them, eh. Production of the MGB/C/V8 ran from 1963 to 1981, so you really are talking cr@p. By then it was outdated.

What's with the "4 pot indeed"...?  🤔

Yes, my Nissan Maxima was a fun little car to sport around in ... and ... dependable.

 

As was my wife's Datsun 310.

 

Even my Firebird was surprisingly dependable, for Detroit POS.

 

My Nissan pickup, tasked with towing was also great.   The only new vehicle I ever bought in USA.

You're not comparing like with like.

 

Look at the Datsun 240z and the Mazda Mx, Toyota Celica, MR2 even the Honda S500–S800, the Honda S2000 - the MG was in production from the ealy 1960s (when it wasn't even then very startling) until 1980 before they realised it was a waste of time.

OMG ... they're everywhere.  I can not deny nor confirm, if the dirty one is ours, although we did just come back from an O&A.

The thought of MGs in abundance on the road, may be disturbing to many.   OK, maybe just one, but, rest easy and try to get some sleep ...

While not an MG, just another Chinese vehicle nonetheless to shed some light on this topic:

 

 

What like is it spreading on the topic?

hi,

 

I see so many chinese cars MG cars, but I am wondering, is it only because they are cheap ? People have no interest in quality ?

 

Also the world complaining about the chinese leadership selling everything to the rest of the world, but then they buy chinese cars when EU cars or even Japanese are so much better ?

 

This world is weird...

 

 

 

Here's what China is upto...

You mean shedding light?

400 plus mileage? I'm guessing that even in km that represents good quality and longevity - what's not to see?

 

europe is losing the car war, of course America was never really in it.

Yes, I meant  shedding light

 

So, they have a whole video to say the car goes 400 km on a charge?

I had a '99 GMC Sierra that did that.

I have to watch a three-hour video to know that? They seem to have a new brand every ten minutes. 

 

I only need two cars, and I only buy one every three or four years.

1 - no you didn't

2 trying to suggest that was the norm in th US is just false - that would have been a very rare example in the US - how much of the factory fitted parts would still be in pristine condition?

Yes I did. 

 

I am not suggesting it's the norm. 

 

Only consumables had to be replaced. 

 

433,000km is about 270,000miles, and Sierra was at over 300,000 miles when my brother-in-law sold it.

You really are absurd - you didn't even own it.

Mine was an Indigo blue  '99 GMC Sierra 1500 SLE short-bed standard cab.

 

Here's one for sale today, a couple years newer, extended cab, 314,138 mi (505,556km)
