Be sure not to miss the 'Import Spy Report' on page 28 of
the September issue of Popular Mechanics. They have printed
a picture that is supposed to be a prototype for the new MG.
The text is as follows:
We talked about it a couple of months ago, and here's a photo
of the new midengine sports car code-named PR 3. We're expecting
it to be called MGD. It uses one os several MG engines and a
Honda transaxle. Appointments will be sports-car-like -- minimal --
in the British stiff-upper-lip tradition, but we're betting on roll-
up windows instead of vinyl side curtains.
The picture shows a car painted in somewhat of an olive-drab color,
making it look something like an aerodynamic assault vehicle. It
is a fixed head coupe, with apparently no room behind the seats.
The view is from the left rear quarter, so it's difficult to imagine
what the front of the car will look like. It is kinda nice, and I will
certainly check it out when it becomes available (be still my triumphant
heart).
There is also a picture of the latest Jaguar saloon. It is largely
unchanged from the current model. PM states that the 1996 model
will be offered with a Ford based V8 to go with the currently
available GM transmission.
