MG, the storied British marque best known here in the United States for its tiny sports cars, is now part of China's SAIC, and sports cars aren't the plan moving forward.

It's a small crossover whose styling was previewed by the X-Motion concept car, unveiled at the 2018 Beijing auto show last April.

For a whole generation of drivers, the name MG conjures images of two-seat British roadsters. They might not have worked every day and leaked like a colander when it rained, but when they worked they were a load of fun. MG might finally be returning to those days, with rumors that the now Chinese-owned company is working on another two-seat roadster.

Seen as a practical-but-sporty alternative to the MGB roadster, the GT offered up four (small) seats, a versatile rear hatch and all-weather comfort. The Icon is said to represent a...
