Hmm. Maybe it'll grow on me. At least it is more a sports car than a shopping trolley. The basic proportions look good. Putting the MG logo and changing its shape so it fits inside a circle is an immediate fail however. Perhaps it is that intrinsic lack of understanding of the brand and its iconic status that leaves me thinking that this actually doesn't look much like an MG? Perhaps, as a convertible, it'll be better...?

Based on their current product line up, I don't think that there is much chance of that happening... :(
