What's the official reason why MG isn't planning a return to North America? They seem to have a very appealing range of cars, and they wouldn't have to come back with ALL of them. I mean, I can unde

I thought they wanted to, but the problem was no easy access to a dealer network - it's not like the cars just ship and show up on the shelves at Wal-Mart (though I think Sam's Club is moving in this

Paul, I think a lot of it is the necessity for starting from scratch with a dealer and support network in the US (NA, really). What they probably need to do is look for another company to tag along w

Scale, I think. To get into America is a huge proposition. Setting up sales channels, dealerships, parts, etc., etc., etc. Is daunting. They need to study the Koreans as to how they did it. French ca

Just from my amateur observation, here's my take: Rover is taking baby steps toward getting the MG brand back over here. The Mangusta based new SV is now on sale (as of this week!) and has been bandi

BMW jettisoned a money hemoraging Rover for virtually nothing to a start up. They revived MG saloons to go along with the MGF. So they have no big guy to tag along with.
