lol quality. I feel sorry for anyone who has just bought a rover.
I wonder how MG/Rover owners will get their car serviced/repairs ?
tbh the MG's are awefull, they're just a rover with bits stuck on them.
Wanna make some money......start buying Rovers to break for spares....gonna be BIG business soon.
i've heard that there trying to save MG its self because of the heritage, there hoping a company will buy just MG

fair enough, but lets face it.
at the moment MG make an absolute ton of crap. The only good MG's worth saving, and are partof our heritage is the MGB GT e.t.c
Shame the whole lot has imploded. Nothing wrong with Longbridge or the workforce, it's not their fault they've been made to churn out 10+ year old cars with flashy paint for the last few years. The cars were just shit, nothing new at all.
That SV thing was a poor move too - who the hell would buy that over a 911/Aston V8 it was going to be priced against? They needed a volume seller; their own 'Mondeo'. The way I saw it was the 'Phoenix Consortium' bought it to make a quick-quid from and shift as a going concern that wasn't necessarily making money but was economically viable but it's gone sour for them before they got chance to offload it.
They should have got a new saloon designed and as part of a package with Bliar PLC for money supply them to the police etc to fit in with the racing branch/performance aspect for sales.
That's what happens when you just do nothing with a stale product, people stop buying it![/b]
i read a story t'other day about this old guy had bought a rover and paid for the 3 years warrenty
he still had 2 years left to run on it
and the paint on his rover went dodgy took it back to the shop and they refused to honor the warrenty
now thats hash imo

I would have a normal MG over a 911, i hate them.
The Phenix consortium did well out of it. hey made a fair few million each for their involvement in this 'project' of theirs.

The parts bloke down at Vauxhall used to work at rover, & he said he only left because they were flogging a dead horse! They had so many facelifted models, But no new designs!
As for the MG side of things, Ive driven one & they are terrible! Its a 10-15 year old car, with different bumpers! Nowt else has changed. Poor handling too! & MG is there sports department!

Rovers & MG's come with a three year warranty apparently, the first two years rover carry out the warranty issues and the third year warranty is carried by someone else, so the warranty for the third year depends on whether rover paid whoever's to carry out the third year issues the warranty for that particular car.
Also the parts divsion for rover/mg is doing extremely well apparently and is t be kept going so parts shouldn't be a problem to come by for a while
