What I am curious to know is what SAIC paid for the MG name and whether the marketing the famous 100 year old badge gives them has been worth it rather than making up their own name and badge
BMW owned the name in 1994 and they built the little MGF two seaters
In 2000 BMW sold the name to the MG Rover Group but they went into receivership in 2006, and Nanjing Automobile Group bought the rights to the MG name for £53million.
In 2007 NAG 'merged' with SAIC (it was more like a takeover).
