[Zmagnette] another new MG?

[LannM at aol.com]

I wouldn't get too excited just yet.  Concept cars are designed to be  
edgy.  Production cars are designed to the lowest common denominator.   No 
telling what it would like when it hits the showroom.  Better I  hope.
 
But, it if leads to a decent two seater sports car.... well, you take the  
good with the bad.

Amen to  that, brother!  At best, it looks like a clinically obese B/GT, 
and that  only because in the midst of all the bulging fat, there is a '73-74 
grill  sort-of stuffed in there between corpulent cheeks.  Absolutely 
hideous!  But of course, America is so desperate for another SUV that it will  
spontaneously sell like hotcakes, right?  


NOT!!!!!

PS: Now an MG-badged Solstice... that might lead to something - and since  
SAIC owns the rights to both MG and Pontiac (as well as Saturn), it's a real 
 possibility.  There's only one other two-seater sportscar available on  
the American market right now: the Miatta.  That's an easy market to  compete 
in, and once there's some jazzy press about how well this new MG-stice  
performs, then maybe a few people will come into the showrooms to look at one,  
and then drive out in one of those gross pigs wallowing in its excess  
sheet-metal. Speaking of showrooms, how do the Chinese acquire a string of  
those?  Do they expand the Chinese restaurants?

Try as they might, this isn’t even close.  Maybe with a bottle of  cheap 
red wine (and I don’t even like red wine), make that two bottles, I  might 
sort of recognize the grille as being somewhat MG like . . . 
 
give it up
