The reasons why the MGF hasn't come to the US are nothing to do with its ability to meet Federal Safety & Emissions laws (it meets and exceeds most of them), and you can bet that, despite what the go

Wait a minute...This last sentence scares me a little...Does anyone else see an implication that the new MG's will complement BMW roadsters, styling or otherwise? I'd hate to see a badge-engineered M

How do these companies line up folk for such clinics? Surely the F would be niche vehicle, and would require an assortment of nicheish folk? Mazda can squirt out high-volume Miatas Seems I remember r

Be thou not afraid, little one - I meanst thee no harm. All I was saying was this: let us be realistic folks, and realise that BMW will be involved in the decision making process that leads to the ne

Please never try for the US market. Re-designing for the US market destroyed the MGB, the E Type Jaguar and most of the following Jaguars, the SD1 Rover. So please let the Japs, the Germans and your
