Comments from Mike: an MGF for a couple of days while in France, but to no avail. I did, however, manage to inspect one that was parked on the street. I must confess, when I first saw the MGF, I did

You should drive an MGF before you make a judgement, it is FAR superior to the Miata/MX5, which did not advance sports car technology one iota. I'm glad Rover didn't go along the retro route and just

Philip, I love MG's just like you do. An important part of that love is the physical appearance of the cars. I've owned many different MG sports cars, and just looking at their beautiful lines makes

Don, How about seeking some informed opinion or, dare I say it, actually see or experience the MGF before firing off such nonsense. Needless to say we have the MX5 (Miata to you) and the MGF here and

Trevor, if you're going to talk MGs get your facts straight. The post-war T-series MGs were living antiques. Talk about living in the past? The TC was pure '20s, the TD and TF were '30s with '20s sty

Of course the post-war Ts were old-fashioned. They were the best the company could come with after 6 years of war. Even so, the Americans lapped them up and put MG back into profit. But it wasn't a r

I guess it's down to personal preferance. To me, and many English people, the MGF is a more striking and moderen car than the small and rather feminine MX5 (Miata). Philip Raby Editor, MG World PO Bo

My point exactly, Jay. However I'm afraid our thin-skinned Brits are feeling a bit defensive. After all they've had to look at MG Metros and other truck since 1980. I suppose we should pity them. The
