OK, so people that own and drive MGs, since 1924 are passionate about it, in a good way, I would think that's what that implies.

 

Can't disagree much with that, passion drives it's production & sales, quite 'accurate' not deceptive and no argument here.

 

Moving on ....

Shame the customers had no passion to buy them nor the company had passion to build anything decent.

Sales #s and reviews tell a different story from those folks that don't own and knock the product.

Yes just google it. 

???? The Marina van has to be one of the worse vans I ever had next to the J4 and one other Morris van. 

The Transit a bit better the van before it better. 

The best van ever was the Mercedes.

BMW bought the Rover Group, probably because of the Mini thing.

 

Being a Brit has nothing to do with anything, I would defend you if I thought you were right. ????

Knowing now they are from German heritage I like them now  and apologise for directing my dislike towards the Brits.

Apparently these folks were unsuccessful, or SAIC wouldn't be producing them, after they merged / bought out  Nanjing Automobile Group.  Even took them 4 years to turn the company around and put out the first new, redesigned model, MG 6.  The rest is history.

I beg to differ.

 

But then, in your myopic jingoism, you would not be able to understand that it was badged austin for the  international market.

 

I had the misfortune of being gifted one of the seven expprted for my first car.

All to do with the UK and Rover, then the Chinese thought,

 

"Wow, I have a great idea to sell the stuff nobody will buy, we can call them "Brit MG"............????

I wonder why they sold it to the Americans as an Austin Marina, how strange, in the UK the last of the Marina saga was named Morris Ital, hmmmm, something to add to my grey cells....☺️

Just looked and mine has 'Brit Dynamic' on it, and possible the first time I actually read it.  I know I read 'brit designed' somewhere, maybe promo advert.  Don't know what 'dynamic' means, and as stated earlier 'brit design' certainly didn't influence my purchase.

 

If made in the UK, I definitely would not have purchased it, as having that negative opinion of UK owned MG manufacturing.  

 

Anyone thinking it's a brit MG is an idiot.  Although since the keep an UK address, I could actually be 'brit designed', so again, NO deception.

 

Let it go man ... BE SAFE

Had to google it, and can't get any more honest than that:

dynamic ... adjective

 

1. 1.

   (of a process or system) characterized by constant change, activity, or progress.
