This is actually pretty true, from what I've seen. However, I may
be somewhere in between; I personally think the MGF looks too much
like a glorified Miata (DUCK!!), but I've seen pictures of a MGR V8
that was produced in the early 90's, and that seemed interesting.
It seems that the categories would have to be split yet again:
1) Those who want an MGF or MGR and can afford to import one.
2) Those who want an MGF or MGR and can't afford to import one.
3) Those who don't give a rip about post 1980 MG's.
Since I don't currently own an MGR, you can guess which category I lie in.
However, if and when this changes, you aren't getting my '72!
