If the deal does materialise, then I should think that a Chrysler distribution deal would be highly likely. Having said that, although there is no established MG dealer network (the old British Leyla

I seem to remember in a review of the MGF in either a British car mag, or maybe Road and Track that the MGF would not be brought into the US because it would pose a problem for BMW Z3 sales and Miata

One of the reasons Rover has trotted out to defend the non-return of MG to the states is the lack of a dealer network, and legal problems left by B-L (exactly what were those problems?). They claim t

The prowler is an ugly car. What we need is a Supercharged MG, similar to the MGA or MGB, but with a little more Aerodynamic work...and a cool interior. Apple didn't accept the investment...Steve Jo

Once again, why don't we (the enthusiasts) start some sort of dealer network? I would still think it is better to completely buy MG. They are still plenty of private dealerships that used to sell MG

I don't think the prowler is ugly. I do think that if Chrysler designed a MG on the Eagle Talon platform, and fitted it with a magnum V-8 or V-10, I'd have to buy it! Until then, I'll dream and drool

similar to I have to agree with Michael here; an MG isn't an MG when it has a V-10 or other large bore engine installed. I think the only large engine applicable in an MG is a V-8 of Rover or Buick d

No, MGs are only allowed to have 4 or 6 cylinders, or a British V8. Sorry that is my opinion. KMR Kai M. Radicke -- mowogmg@pil.net @ 1966 MGB -- http://www.pil.net/~mowogmg Dialogue Internet -- Int

I agree with most of your sentiment, but I would like to differentiate between engine size and power. 130hp is fairly typical for a non-turbo 4 cylinder these days. Not many cars make under 100hp any
