Maybe it's beautiful and we are too old or of the wrong culture to appreciate 
it.  Just like music; one tends to favor the things of
his/her youth.  I love '50s rock 'n roll, but rock music from about
1980 on sounds like the Chinese MG looks- awful.

It would be interesting to get feedback from people of different ages and 
cultures as to how they view the Chinese MG.  I have a
fellow from Honduras who assists me on taking care of my place.  He is the same 
age as me, 63, who came to the US about 15 years
ago.  He thinks my MGs are ugly, and likes the looks of new Toyotas and Hondas. 
 I wonder if that may be because he didn't see MGs
or similar cars when he was a kid and young adult.
