I don't think you realise just how large sales are going to be.
I do hope that Saic will be be able to produce enough cars
to match the demand.

I think they will need more engine choice before they can go much further than that!

Michael Edwards of Wigan has had 2 cars delivered for delivery to customers.
This was conveyed to me by the man himself.

Just looking at his website, he seems to have a selection of them, including some decent colours instead of gray and grey!

Crumbs! If all dealers take that many then sales will be VERY impressive this month!
But seriously - when did any dealer take that many cars in one go from MG since 2005??

The site says there is a choice of colours in 3 STYLE LUX, 3 STYLE, 3 FORM SPORT, 3 FORM and 3 TIME. They can't all be on site - you can get anything by customer order!Windy wrote:Just looking at his website, he seems to have a selection of them, including some decent colours instead of gray and grey!

Hi Windy, he did not say how many he had sold, but did say he had sold quite a few.
Also said he had many people showing great interest in the car.
He seemed to be very enthusiastic about the cars future, and
even talked about the forthcoming new engines. I was also
invited to have a coffee and a further chat. even though
he new that i was only interested in Automatics.

An automated manual exists in several other markets, I guess they just need to put it through the official emissions tests etc to sell it in the UK. I wonder how many MG3 they need to sell before they will put the auto on sale?adaveabbott wrote:

The automated manual seems well liked by the owners and unlike most automatics doesn't waste fuel compared to the manual so may sell well in the UK to those with a low budget and many who need an auto do have a low budget...

There's clearly a big new improvement coming up for MG5 but not MG3 - which is technically different?Windy wrote:An automated manual exists in several other markets, I guess they just need to put it through the official emissions tests etc to sell it in the UK.

No auto on Guy Jones' radar:
http://www.ilovemg.org/?p=1566
Guy Jones said ”There are plans to extend the range of engines. I think people are aware of our joint venture with General Motors, but I can’t confirm anything today.” He also confirmed that there are no plans to offer an automatic version of the 3. Automatics in this sector, said Guy, are something of a premium and MG currently does not have the volume to offer these premiums.

The dual clutch transmission would make the car a fair bit more expensive though.
