Spy Shots: New MG6 Testing In China

I am from the UK and we have had a grand total of 3 cars released by SAIC here (MG 6, MG 3 & GS). Its terrible considering the cars China has. Considering MG is a British brand they really show no interest in our market at all. They recently stopped the production of the MG 6 for the UK and we only have the MG 3 and GS in production for the UK, both of which only have one engine and both aren’t really suited for the UK. The MG 3 has a really good chassis and is actually better than the previous MG ZR but the MG 3 has has an absolutely boring 1.5L engine with 105PS (except for a minor development for the cars released after 2016 which made emissions better) since the car was released. The UK market demands a more powerful engine for the MG 3 and they would sell loads if they did. We only have the 1.5L GM engine in the GS and the markets in the UK either demand more power which the 2.0L engine available in the GS in China would be perfect for or a diesel which isnt available. We never got the MG 5 or MG 7 and cars like the MG GT, Roewe 350, Roewe 550, Roewe RX-5 have never been sold here. Thats why i say we need the Roewe range in the UK and sticking a MG badge on the Roewe range is the way to do it
