I have been away from MGUK for a while and so this topic may have been discussed previously, but there appears to be pretty conclusive evidence from Autocar and others that the Ssangyong Korando and MG CS share a platform. Surprising, given the issues between their parent companies in the past.
However, moving on with this theme, I suggest that in the new (and surprisingly impressive) Ssangyong Tivoli, we are looking at the platform and general body framing for the new MG 'Juke Rival', (or am I wrong?). Imagine the MG Icon then squint hard and look at the Tivoli - all new body panels required yes, but the Tivoli appears to have the basic structure of MG's next model all ready to go.. a great pity then that Ssangyong are about 2 years ahead with their models and also appear to have the fastest growing UK sales in 2015, replacing MG who had that accolade in 2014.
