Yesterday evening on Top Gear BBC2 lots of MG news:
MGF as best sold roadster compared with:
Lotus Elise
New Vauxhall roadster (Opel for the European mainland)
MGF
Toyota MR2

MG came our quite well as a good daily driver with just a few minor
complaints:
to much body rol when cornering
seat position is to high
special edition (forgot the name) with extra power, but some ugly dash

Lotus is still ideal sports car, but one gets tired after a while and this
makes this car great fun, but not a practical daily driver.
Vauxhall is based upon the Lotus, costs are similar - so minor chance for
succes. No daily driver as well.

Toyota is a very nice car for daily driver - expected to have well built
quality, but it's a Toyota.

Later in the program short shots of:
the MG Le Mans racer on the track
MG rally cars based on the MG X series rover derivates.

All good looking and promising.


Cheers,

Hans
