MG ZP11 to launch next year, Roewe limo apparently dropped

With the Roewe 350 about to launch on the tails of the MG6 (which coincidently launches tomorrow), MG will get its own version of the Roewe 350 which has been codenamed MG ZP11 and is likely to be the MG5, or even 3.
2010 is set to be a big year for MG and Roewe with SAIC planning to launch the Roewe 350 in around March, plus a facelift MG3 SW will make an appearence in the middle of 2010 alongside a facelift Roewe 750, as well as the Roewe SUV
However, according to other information the MGZP11 is likely to wipe out the current MG3 series, and may well usher in a new MG3 SW rather than giving the current one a facelift. The MGZP11 is rumored to be carrying 1.5L and 1.8L engines, with the highest models getting dual clutch gearboxes.
The Roewe limo that was spotted out is apparently set to get the chop from any future Roewe line up, Roewe apparently had enough parts to build 200 cars but have since decided to scrap the project.

Roewe 150

What are the big red buttons for on the passenger dashboard? surely the Korean collaboration doesn't mean the Roewe's passenger can fire Taepodong-2 rockets(!)

I think it just cuts the electrical power for when smoke or flames appear, or the fly by wire decides on full power when you dont want it or the ABS decides to unlock the wheels when their not locked, etc, etc!
