Very little in the news here about it, but there again the Chinese Govt controlled newspapers only like good news.

China has a huge car industry. Not only JV's between the big companies like GM, VW (hudley sucessfull), Ford, Honda, etc etc but also a domestic one too. Not many of you will have ever seen or ridden in a Hong Chi (Red Flag) a Wulin, Jiangsu AC, or a Jinbei.

China really wanted the name MG, they do not need the technology, they have that already. Many Chinese cars are blatant copies of foreign ones.

Sad to see MG go but the Rover group in its time produced some bloody awful cars. The Allegro (All Aggro), the Ital (It'll go wrong) and the Range Rovers are plagued by technical problems.
