Re: 2017 SAIC design challenge winner – it’s a roadster!
Well, Col, for the time being it’s just a design concept, but I think it’s very important that (I think for the first time since the takeover in 2007) a roadster concept has been officially released. So there is still hope that the MG spirit has not died completely.
I think SAIC will wait if the E-Motion becomes a success, and then develop a (fully electric) rag top sports car on that platform. Anyway, to me it’s a good sign that a roadster concept won the first prize in that challenge. Especially when I look at the crappy stuff in the other pictures.

I looked at that and with the exception of the grill area I honestly thought I was looking at a slightly re-modelled Beemer Z4 !

I like that! If SAIC were to start building MG sports cars again, I'd certainly take note
