MG Rover in general and John Towers in particular are fully aware of the significance of the MG name in North America, and would dearly like to be there. They are not ignoring you for any other reaso

The word going around (spread by David Knowles) is that the new site, www.mgrover.co.uk will be up very soon, supseading those mostly ignored sites of the former rover group.

Specs and interior aside, the exterior's enough to make you wonder if there's now some law of physics governing possible car body types. Doesn't the X30 look like a VW Golf or one of those Hyundai th

Give them a chance, these have been cooked up in fairly short-order from the existing 25, 45 and 75 saloon bodyshells. New shapes, and particularly purpose-built sports models ('convertible' in the U

Actually, my first gut reaction to these pictures was "Oh look, Honda Civic." I know Rover does alot of work with Honda, and I believe the 1.8L VVC engine in the MGF is the 1.8L VTEC found in North A

Well, I was just looking at the site, and it indicates the MGF will be available in "select export markets" later in the year. I presume this to include the US, but don't know for sure. It'll have to

Of course they have to meet the legal requirements for export, but they should be used to that. What I thought (as you agree) is the bigger problem is not having any sort of a network to sell them th

Chris, those Rover dealers are now part of Ford, since they swooped in to by Land Rover from BMW! While Ford doesn't make anything that would really compete with the MGF, the other products could be
