  • SAIC MG6 Five-Door

    The long, sad, failure-ridden story of what used to be England's auto industry has filled many books, and drained many pints of both ale and oil. But next Wednesday, a new car will roll off the lines of the former Austin factory in Longbridge, England, headed for showrooms later this year. The new midsize sports hatchback is called the MG6, and it's the first new model sold under the MG marque in 16 long years. It was designed and engineered, says the company, by the MG technical center in Longbridge. But unlike all previous MGs, the car comes by way of MG's new owner, Shanghai Automotive...

  • MG TF

    Chronicling MG's path through the last decade is tough enough, and delving further back borders on the arcane, but under SAIC's ownership, the line of British-built roadsters has been brought back to life, starting with the currently-available TF LE-500, and soon to be joined by an updated version of the TF 135.

The car rejoining the British market is largely the same - it looks essentially...
