- Rumours are flying around the new Rover 75 (a superb car, BTW) will be badged as an MG Magnette in the USA. Ummm... I can see the reasoning - Rover has a bad name in the US, but IMHO it would be a sh

- Doesn't seem to have much in common with the MG heritage (with the exception of the S, V and W). On a road test it was described as not being in competion with BMW as it was smooth, quiet luxury as o

- THIS IS AN EXCELLENT IDEA! You ask someone in America what a Rover is, you get several responses: 1. "You mean, Land-Rover?" (As good a brand Land-Rover is, this would be like calling a Cadillac a "M
