I just came across this reading about the chinese brandowners of MG coming with two models to the EU.
They also have this coupe in their pipeline..

A 2+2 version.. with a long wheel base..

 

To me, this looks a lot like new Mazda3 front-end combined with Mercedes AMG rear end.

 

Looks smart

 

Looks like a proper XK/XKR replacement and certainly nicer looking than the Lexus LC500.

 

I thought those pics were just CGI renderings until found this page: https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/m...roduction-2020.

 

A few design cues from the F-Type (eg, rocker panels), but also far too many from the Ghibli (upper body lines & tail).

 

Its a mishmash of various good details not fitting together. Maybe they'll tune it down and it turns out better.

 

I like it, but all I see is the RX-9 https://www.topspeed.com/cars/car-ne...-ar186621.html

 

@BruceTheQuail
Does have a more then stunning resemblance.. ..but is a ICE. Trick with the MG is, its an EV..
So NO taxes at all in the Netherlands. That cuts 30-50k from the list price.. .. best argument ever.

 

OK so someone photoshop the f type front grill and here we go the new xk, sweet

 

Well he did say a "Chinese Copy".......I like it imagine if the price was reasonable and the quality high....I'd like one....

 

Have you ever encountered a Chinese product where "the quality high"? I have not. It is 100% cheaply made disposable crap.

I suspect this car will be a less reliable version of Yugo.

 

I actually have a very high quality, very ornately carved Chinese wedding bed, but it’s over 400 years old, so I don’t think this example counters your point.

 

Reminds me of updated XJ!

 

I like it

 

I agree with some others, it is an attractive car but also highly derivative of many other makes & models. Like a high school kid who is very skilled with Photoshop looked at a lot of the best looking sports cars and sports coupes and copied a bit here, a line there, a grill from another, etc.
