You should drive an MGF before you make a judgement, it is FAR superior
to the Miata/MX5, which did not advance sports car technology one iota.
I'm glad Rover didn't go along the retro route and just do a rehashed B.
If you look back over the years, MG has always produced modern,
up-to-date cars, which makes the F a true evolutionary successor to the B.
