Unless it comes from a workforce dedicated to building, primarily, MGs, then
it's just a car with an MG badge glued on it. Are there any MG employees
other than sales/marketing sorts? If no, then is there even really an MG
company at all, even as part of Rover?
Does anyone in the BMW/Rover system feel that they work for MG? Or do they
all feel as though they are BMW/Rover employees building an occassional car
to which they attach an octagon badge?
If the latter is so, then really, MG is no more alive than those dead
Legionaires propped up to fool the Arabs in "Beau Geste". . .and we're the
Arabs.
