New MG Roadster will be based on the Icon concept, with classic MGB touches - and our exclusive images show how it could look
MG hopes to appeal to a new generation of enthusiasts with this modern-day interpretation of legendary sports cars like the MGB.
The car is likely to go on sale in 2015, starting at around £14,000.
Other interviews in the press have said that there is no priority to make a new sportscar, but that a new sportscar will be a modern interpretation.
It's true that Jukes seem pretty popular and the new Evoque is evidently doing well. These cars are the new sportscars!
