Just wondering if we are getting the 107bhp 1.5l engine as the only choice upon launch in the UK?
Or is it possible that it will be released with the 1.5T?

Maybe we will only get the turbo, like with the MG6?snifferdog1 wrote:Just wondering if we are getting the 107bhp 1.5l engine as the only choice upon launch in the UK?

What we need is the SGE but that is not ready so just the 1.5T for the first year seems quite likely to me.
Wonder if it will come with the dual clutch transmission?

Hmmm, I hope youre right, but wouldnt the 135bhp turbo be a bit too powerful to sell a substancial amount to the target age group?

Yes, but it will get good reviews and they can then launch the low powered eco versions when the SGE is ready. Why do other companies launch the cheap ones first and then produce a sports version instead of the sporty version first?

Pretty sure we will be getting the non turbo 1.5 at launch.
That's what's been in the prototypes.

You launch the bread and butter models first, as they sell the most, like for example the ZR105 outsold the ZR160.

Seems we have lost some horses over the China model?
In pursuit of economy and emissions?

Almost certainly emissions, but they may come back yet - their website gives the specs as TBA so maybe the press have just been given a figure they are sure is possible.Roverman wrote:Seems we have lost some horses over the China model?

That's disappointing - its not known for being massively powerful as it is, so if they're going for a sporty fun image it needs some oomf!
