Se não acredita, aqui fica o link directo do tópico do fórum britânico da MG-Rover, onde este assunto está a ser tratado: http://forums.mg-rover.org/showthread.php?t=188436

Se mesmo assim ainda não acredita, aqui ficam duas das inúmeras notícias que sairam na imprensa online internacional, sobre a aparição da MG neste Salão Automóvel de Shangai:

News Release 20/04/07
NAC MG MAKES INTERNATIONAL DEBUT AT
AUTO SHANGHAI 2007 SHOW

• First public appearance of new model range
• Seven models to feature on show stand
• First Chinese-owned international brand to exhibit on world stage

The Auto Shanghai 2007 Show will witness the public debut of NAC MG and its exciting new model range. The company’s presence in the ‘International’ hall of the show marks a significant first for a Chinese automotive manufacturer, with NAC MG representing the world’s first truly International Chinese-owned automotive brand.

The stand will feature new models from the new 7-Series, 5-Series and TF range of vehicles, while an MG SA and MG A from the brands illustrious past will provide showgoers with a snap shot of the company’s British heritage. That very heritage remains a fundamental element of the MG brand and will continue to play an important role in its appeal to the international market.

Zhang Xin, General Manager of MG says: “We are devoted to building MG as an international brand whilst keeping it true to its British roots. Our show stand has a theme that makes reference to classic British culture and its unique appeal. The brand is all about passion and energy, characteristics that are not only reflected in our products but also within
its people who work tirelessly for the company.”

The Shanghai Show provides a perfect platform to show off its new products and world-class credentials to the press and public alike. The successful launch of MG is not only a reflection of the immense amount hard work put in by all those involved in the project but is also a reflection the continuing success of the entire Chinese automotive industry.

Zhang Xin says: “The MG project has been turned around in record time and has shown the world what a Chinese auto maker is capable of. We are confident that this is the first stage in a new strategic direction for Chinese manufacturers.”

MG, Rover, Roewe? Chinese do the British thing
Posted 4/20/2007 by Mike Floyd
Filed under: China, Misc. Auto Shows

A lot has been made of MG's Chinese revival tour. At the Shanghai show, MG-producer Nanjing MG Motor Company played up the British angle at every turn, right down to using proper gentlemen and ladies as models on its show stand. The only thing missing was a spot of tea and some crumpets.

After seeing the MG TF run around the web in highly photoshopped images for the past couple of months, it was cool to finally see the real roadster in the sheetmetal. Let's just say that at this point, Mazda, GM and any other automaker that produces roadsters has nothing to fear - yet.

The TF is not ready for North American prime time, and it showed. It seemed like it was made out of tin and the top wasn't exactly top-notch. The 1.8-liter engine tucked behind the seats, which Nanjing claims is good for 134 horsepower and 121 lb-ft of torque, looked a little raggy. Wait, maybe they do have this British motor car thing down after all!

But like so many of the cars at Shanghai, you see the potential. And unlike so many of the Chinese automakers, Nanjing doesn't have to copy other designs, since it already bought them. This way, they can focus on making the cars better instead of worrying about design, and they likely will. We're all for mid-engine roadsters, and the TF, if it makes it to the U.S., would be a welcome addition, warts and all.

In addition to the TF, Nanjing also showed off its MG 7 and MG 5 models, also based on former British designs. I liked the looks of the MG 5 (pictured), which is powered by a 2.0-liter diesel. The model draped on the sporty blue machine wasn't too bad, either.

There's another British Chinese brand in town, Roewe. Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation, which produces the cars, wasn't able to secure Rover naming rights, but it was able to secure engineering rights to the Rover 75, so Roewe it is. SAIC put an impressive amount effort into pushing the brand, draping a huge building across from the convention center with a Roewe banner. The badge has a distinctly Roveresque look to it -- as does the Roewe 750.

And, you guessed it, Roewe also had an all-England theme going, with English Leather looking dudes and Chinese models in riding outfits. Wonder if they can get David Beckham to shill for them?

Roewe showed a hybrid model of the car, as well as a solid looking concept called the W2 (pictured, cool guy is optional). It'll be interesting to see if there's a market for two British-themed brands in China. Judging by the size of Shanghai alone, I bet they'll be room for both in the near future. Let's just hope they don't get that the reputation for quality, or lack thereof, that English motoring brands had back in the day.
