So is ChatGPT.

While MG has a long-standing reputation

What reputation is that? The original MG had a strong following for their MGA, MBG, Midget etc but the later cars of the "MG Rover" era were simply rebadged mainstream models (just like the 1100,1300 clones they sold in the 60's and 70's). Then along came the City Rover which was a cheap Indian car that MG Rover stuck a Union flag badge on and passed off as British and sold (possibly tried to sell is nearer the truth) at mainstream prices. For once the buying public saw past this nonsense and the company folded.

The current MG products are manufactured by SAIC in China and have no connection with the original MG cars made in the UK. Not 100% certain but I think that the only other brand manufactured by SAIC and sold in the UK is the Maxus commercial range.

Depends on how well they are made and last, coming from where they do makes people weary of them, though some I gather think MG are made in England
