I'm sure others on this list will disagree, but I myself hate new cars.
I don't like their styling and I don't like the thousands of dollars
of government mandated computers and plumbing under the hood.
Unfortunately the new MGs have the same plastic bubble look as all
the other new domestic and foreign cars. Sometimes I wonder if the
automakers didn't do a great deal of research into making metal
look like plastic. Maybe this styling issue is a generational thing.
My younger co-workers seem to like the new styling, and even think
that chrome is ugly. Hey, am I an old fogy or what?

New Flame Bait: Would you prefer a new MG or an old MG?

How do our British brethren (who can actually buy new MGs) feel?
