Actually, the interesting piece of news on this page is the requirement for
all new cars sold in Japan to meet US safety requirements. While that
economy isn't quite the driving force it was a couple of years ago, it's
still a big market. If this is true, it might make the people who make MGFs
and Elises and TVRs (and some of the interesting concepts that floated at
Geneva) re-think staying out of the US market. Even if they don't sell
officially here, it would make bringing them in much more feasible. The guy
who modifies Morgans for the US market says that EPA is a lot easier to
comply with than DOT.

MGH on BMW in USA
Insiders at Rover have indicated that the successor to the MGF - the MGH -
could be built in the USA based on BMW's M3 platform. BMW are keen to
re-establish MG as a marque in the USA.
