This is actually the same car as seen in spy shots on May 13 but for some reason we now have two more pics and for the first time one of the back. It all loox very sporty, the area above the exhaust is of a very ‘interesting’ design.

Spy Shots: Production-ready MG3 Close to Zero
Published on May 12, 2010 by Tycho de Feyter
The new MG3 is confirmed for October and this is the first picture of the production vehicle. It loox very similar to the MG Zero concept car that MG unveiled at the Beijing Auto Show. All concept-thingies are gone and what is left is a sharp-looking small hatch. It will come with 1.5 and 1.3 litre engines and price will start around 70.000 rmb, and that is indeed a 10.000 more than we thought earlier. Still competitive enough, especially with those lines and the MG-nametag.

Spy Shots: new MG2 = MG3
Published on May 6, 2010 by Tycho de Feyter
The new small MG from China will be named MG3 and not MG2 as we thought. What that does to the current MG3 SW (Streetwise) is yet unknown. Prove for the new name comes from this spyshot from the interior of a test car, the text on the lower part of the steering wheel clearly writes MG3.
Beijing Auto Show Live: MG Zero Concept
Published on April 23, 2010 by Tycho de Feyter
The MG3 did not make it to the Beijing Auto Show. Instead this MG Zero concept did. If the real car only loox a little like the Zero it might be worth the wait. But it problably won’t. Engines for the real one we know: a 1.5LVTI with 78kw@6000rmp and 135nm@4000rpm. Second engine is a 1.3, both engines auto or manual. Price will start somewhere between 50.000 and 60.000 rmb. The Zero/MG2 will get a sister at Roewe, likely to be called 250.
MG2 is OUT

This is the new small MG named ‘MG2′, it’ll get a little sister names Roewe 150. The pictures are leaked from what Chinese websites say is a drive with a testcar. It doesn’t look like a testcar to me, more likely these are leaked from some brochure.
Spy Shots: MG2 Caught Again
Published on April 2, 2010 by Tycho de Feyter
MG’s upcoming babycar ’2′ was coght again and for the first time the interior was caught as well. Loox all darn sporty, steeringwheel looks Buick but I especially like that little red button on the passenger-side-dash. It must be nitro! It is not, unfortunately, it is problably some tester’s delight.
