MG plans for UK - Guy Jones Facebook Chat

I am delighted to confirm that MG will launch a second new model in 2011 - the four door sports saloon. We are really excited about this second new car as it offers a highly desirable sports saloon at a price which should also be very desirable in the current market. The sports saloon will be available in the second half of the year in time for the September market.

The diesel version of MG6 is planned to be launched 12 months after the petrol model. With the recent increases in the price of diesel, we are seeing an increase in interest in the petrol model from private buyers who do not use their vehicles for high mileage.

As part of the major launch activities next year we will be updating the brand identity. We do not need to use the Morris Garages script here as part of the branding, this will only be in China and other markets where MG has not had a visible presence before. We will keep the iconic logo intact but there will be a closer relationship between the car and the branding and more global consistency as we are now a global British brand.

I was thinking that too, they don't need to make a big fuss about it but in the right place it looks good and adds a little substance to the name/brand. It is a brand with history and not one that wants to shake off its history like BT did.

Was a car ever branded Morris Garages?

As promised, more on the questions we were unable to answer during Monday's Live and Online. We were asked whether we plan an MG6 Estate car. This is not part of our current strategy for the MG6 platform.

Shame, I thought an estate would look pretty good and increase sales.

"This is when the French can buy the MG6?"

"major European countries in 2012 will be put."

After looking at the other thread, it appears to be Nanhai in Guangdong province. (Home of Honda!)

Interesting colour photography.
