 Word is plans to sell the MG TF in the American market have come to a
complete halt. When China's Nanjing Automobile Group bought most of MG Rover
in September 2005 and insisted that it would set up a factory in Ardmore,
Oklahoma, to build knock-down kits of the TF to sell in the U.S. market.  To
say that the automotive world was more than a little skeptical is an
understatement. There was no way in hell that the deal was ever going to
materialize, and the company confirmed it online yesterday, according to
Automotive News. 
 
As the editor of AE said, What part of assembling knock-down kits of British
roadsters in Oklahoma - that were made in China - seemed like a good idea at
the time?
