I didn't even know this existed. Certainly doesn't seem to be on sale in the UK, but I spotted it in Hockley Heath. Quite decent looking thing from all angles (only got a photo from behind):

Wait until it's on sale and you might find Kerry Katona promoting it.

I've had one overnight a couple of times. China version has been out for sometime, European version out towards the end of next year, bigger wheels, better spec, DS3 type DRL's etc. 1.5 engine ain't the best. Decent packaging and handles pretty well.

Looks like a nice little car. Hopefully they'll make a hot version with a revvy N/A engine to rival the Corsa VXR et al.

I was in my courtesy Mini when I spotted it. It struck me as apposite that I was in a German interpretation of a British supermini looking at a Chinese interpretation. The Chinese have got the looks pretty right; bet they don't get the driving and living with bits quite so correct in comparison.

Yes instrument panel or Facia. Styled by Tony William and his team at Longbridge. The European version will be a lot more MG, so different bumpers, suspension, wheels etc. It's Punto size by the way. Its major market is China where it sells shi*t loads. Engine is 1.5 but its that that let's it down, a Turbo version would be nice.

I like the look of it. And the MG6 for that matter. But why is it the Koreans, Chinese et al always settle for rubbish engines? Hyundai has ruined good cars with mediocre engines as has Kia. More should be invested in that side of things, I feel.

Looks ok to me, yesterday I spotted a new focus ST estate in white. It looked ok but I'm still a bit confused as to if it will sell very well

The Koreans have progressed a lot engine wise lately. I expect that the chinese will do the same.
