I surprised BMW are setting up a new plant in England, but high tax, vat, high costs of staff and all costs that go with staff e.g. holiday pay and all that makes it hard for them to do business here.

rtbiscuit Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 jaguar build cars here, ford build cars here, mini uk, nissan do, lotus do, aston do, caterham do, rolls royce and bently do. and because the quality and skills basis is huge here. also all major F1 teams are UK based along with about 80% of F1 parts being built in the UK.

I agree, but when you look at the politics of the UK, Labour is broke and now heavily funded by unions (not meaning to turn this into a polictal debate) but if they get back in and do what they usually do there will be no manufactoring. In the US if they need anything done to their car there is alot of people catering for the car market but we dont seem to have that market? I hope these are nothing like the middle aged mg's like the mgzr I thought they where horrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The G Man Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Looks like a Nissan Primera, the ugliest car I've ever clapped eyes on, no hint of MG heritage AFAIC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRF4N Posted June 12, 2011 Author Share Posted June 12, 2011 I can think of a lot of uglier cars than that- some previous MGs and Nissan primeras for a start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HEADPHONES Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 I hate it when the ads tease you by not showing any shots of the WHOLE car unless it's a quick flash or blurry shot. Arty in some peoples eyes but bleedin does my head in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humpy Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 There is one on sale at a nearby garage and I have to say it looks such a bland and boring car in my own opinion. Not sure what they were thinking of when designing it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricey Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 I had a good look at this when it was released as it fits into my 'unusual car' category. Grim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
