arnaud7675:
ilil va falloir séparer MG de Rover dans nos sujets
Commencons par MG Nanjing
On sait peu de choses : relance de l'usine de Longridge pour la MG TF roadster
: construction d'une usine en Oklahoma pour un Coupe TF
: usine en chine pour 3 berline
Bon ok dans la thérie ca s'annonce pas mal mais bcq de questions restent en suspend
pour la TF roadster, relance pour l'été 2007, avec de substiles retouches (retro et parchocs)
pour le coupé, ca reste encore un projet lointain 2008 (des paroles d'hommes d'affaire)
pour les 3 berlines, les MG 3, 5 et 7 je me pose bcq de questions ; la 7, ok ca sera une ZT retouché avec de nouveaux moteurs G, mais pour les 2 autres, j'ai des doutes, la 3 sera une ZR relooké surement mais la 5, ca sera quoi ? On sait que Honda a repris l'outillage et ne desire pas que Nanjing utilise cette vielle base de Civic/45
Donc tout cela reste floue, peut etre des news lors du 26 septembre et la présentation de moteur G à la

VERSION ORIGINALE :
MG aims for 90 UK dealers
DUKE HALE, head of MG Cars North America/Europe Inc, has said that the TF Roadster will be sold through a 90-strong dealer network in the UK.
He was speaking, yesterday, at the Reuters Autos Summit in Detroit. He added that test models of the car will be ready in the early part of 2007.
In France, Italy and Spain, the plan is for the car to be sold through importers.
He also re-affirmed plans to revive the British sports car in the US market by June 2008.
100,000 target in US
"Based upon our sales ambition and based on where we think our product line will be, we think we need to be looking at a dealer body that's about 300, up to 350 dealers," (in the US) Hale said.
The company is preparing distribution plans aimed at large American cities. Dealers in the States will be required to run an exclusive MG showroom but share service and parts with other brands.
By 2010, he said the American venture could be selling about 100,000 unit's a year, made up of the TF Roadster, Coupe and a saloon car.
The new company plans to assemble the cars in Oklahoma, based on kits manufactured by Nanjing in China. The company is currently preparing plans for the American factory.
Similarly, the Longbridge site in England, will assemble cars from components shopped from China.
Asked if the 2008 launch date in the US was feasible, he said: "I think the timetable is fairly reasonable and not a stretch at all."

J'ai trouvé une autre déclaration de Duke HALE (qui était hier à un salon automobile à DETROIT), déclaration transmise aujourd'hui par l'agence REUTERS : "les américains sont prêts à acheter des voitures chinoises". Il affirme que la NAC pénétrera plus rapidement le marché américain que les japonais ou les coréens dans le passé...et pense en gros qu'il sera décisif d'être le premier constructeur chinois à vendre des voitures aux U.S.A. pour se partager le marché. A la fin il parle d'une qualité raisonnable par rapport au marché, qualité inférieure à Lexus :ddr:...etc

MG exec says U.S. ready for Chinese cars
Reuters / September 12, 2006 - 9:00 am
DETROIT -- A top executive with the Chinese automaker that hopes to reintroduce the MG sports car said he was confident Chinese-made vehicles will penetrate the U.S. market more rapidly than the Japanese and Korean cars that preceded them.
Duke Hale, chief executive of MG Cars North America, which is backed by China's Nanjing Automobile Corp., also said his company was keen to beat Geely Automobile Holdings Ltd. and Chery Automobile Co., two rival Chinese automakers, to the U.S. market because "being the first mover makes a difference.
"If you talk about who was the first mover among the Japanese," Hale said Monday, Sept. 11, at the Reuters Auto Summit, "and then if you talk about that with Koreans, I think you'll find that first mover has a direct correlation with share in the marketplace."
In a move that surprised many observers, Nanjing said it hopes to be the first Chinese carmaker to open a factory in the United States. The facility, on Chickasaw Indian land in Ardmore, Okla., is expected to begin assembling of MG coupes in 2008 using engines, transmissions and other key components made in China.
Nanjing bought the assets of MG Rover Group for about $90 million in 2005 after the automaker, once one of Britain's largest, filed for bankruptcy.
Hale said that Americans were so used to seeing the "Made in China" label on so much of what they buy these days that they would be unfazed when it begins showing up their cars.
He said he believed Chinese automakers would quickly become players at the budget-end of the North American light vehicle market, an area currently dominated by Kia Motors Corp. and Hyundai Motor Co.
Both Korean automakers have begun moving up-market, in search of wider profit margins and a safe haven as their cheaper Chinese rivals eye the U.S. market's budget end, Hale said.
"I think China's overall going to be a big surprise and that they'll move much faster into the market than some of the doomsayers are suggesting," Hale said. "I think they're going to be formidable."
Hale acknowledged that problems with product quality in the early days of the MG reintroduction could set Nanjing's ambitions back years, but insisted the company was taking great pains to make sure the cars it introduced were of "reasonable quality."
"I'm not suggesting we're going to bring quality into the marketplace that is equal to Lexus or Infiniti or Acura," Hale said. "But I am saying if we can bring a reasonable level of quality to the marketplace, along with creating the right experience for the customer, along with the right brand proposition, we can be successful."
