MG Rover MG6 Concept Debut in Shanghai - Based on Roewe 550

 MG Rover MG6 Concept Debut in Shanghai - Based on Roewe 550
MG Rover MG6 Concept design sketches

Most likely foreshadows a production model

MG's parent company, Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation (SAIC), has announced plans to introduce the new MG6 Concept at the 2009 Shanghai Auto Show.

Based off the Roewe 550, the MG6 Concept will feature bold styling and a four-door coupe appearance despite the fact that it is a five-door hatchback. Among the key design aspects is an angular front-end with large air intakes, aggressive side sills, and a striking character line which runs from the front headlights to the rear taillights.

Although the company failed to provide a press release offering details on the concept, it seems likely that the MG6 will be powered by the turbocharged 1.8-liter four-cylinder petrol engine from the Roewe 550. The only thing that is clear is the fact that production is probably a top priority, considering that MG's lineup only consists of the TF roadster.

Stay tuned as we expect further details to be released soon.

As deserving of the MG badge as any of the recent models to have worn it. I just hope the quality is there and it's priced right.

unquestionably dominated by BMW-esque lines, but looks like a decent offering, if it gets made.

It's nice to see the MG badge on a new car, but it will have made in China quality?

that's a nice looking car... too bad MG was the only brand saved by the chinese... that 'old money' style of the early nineties rovers were so fine...

yeah i think they went bankrupt cos of that "old money" style. people just get bored u know.... but this is really a good sign for MG. i wish they could have kept the name "rover" though, roewe sounds kinda weird and cheap.

yeah, but now that rover is gone and jaguar is all about its new contemporary dynamic design language, where will we find beige leather interiors and chrome accented heritage designs? kidding... i know times have changed, but maybe, just maybe, there would be a market share for average cars with a slightly bentley-ish personality!
