MG7

Friday, the British have launched an interesting anticipation of AutoExpress, which if established would prove to be the testimony of a nice change of pace for the MG brand. The English house, a few years in Chinese hands, could launch in the near future, the MG7, a mid-high class sedan based on the platform even the critically Opel Insignia, which should also catch the engines.

The new three-volume characteristics of MG should be very sporty and later give birth to a twin-brand Roewe, called 750. Just as the current model, which is none other except the old Rover 75 in the flesh, just rebadged. The indiscretion of the agreement with GM is not entirely far-fetched, indeed: SAIC, the Chinese group, owner of the assets of the MG brand has a joint venture with the Americans since 1997.

The style of the MG7 will be treated in Britain, at the historic Longbridge site, where it was drawn, the physiognomy of the MG6 (which will debut in spring 2011) will be born and where the hatchback MG3 (instead of waiting for 2012). The model will mark the first step in an interesting technical collaboration between GM and SAIC. Chinese and Americans, according to a memorandum of understanding signed recently, will collaborate to develop electric and hybrid powertrain in the future.
