Wow, it looks so much better in 3 door guise!! I doubt it will ever come to fruition though.

TBH I've been wondering all today where this engine of lower capacity than, but the same power as, the 1.8 TCi-Tech would come from. It's not in production now. If it were, there would be no reason to stick with the 1.8. It must be wishful thinking on somebody's part, certainly for next summer... (?)

I think the whole story is including the image. Although they did suposedly have the prototype producing that sort of power at one point.patpending wrote:TBH I've been wondering all today where this engine of lower capacity than, but the same power as, the 1.8 TCi-Tech would come from.

I think they have the lines on that image wrong, think it needs to curve up at the rear.

I think it's just a mistake from 135bhp...

given the rest of the article is a 3-door hatch which is most uncertain, which people will want to imagine as fairly high-powered, I don't think any real news can have been uppermost in their mind...Mirtininkas wrote:I think it's just a mistake from 135bhp...
...nice to see interest in MG, though...

Your version looks loads better!
Stick a rear spoiler on that and it would be awesome!
MG are you looking?!!
