Not really, although it was designed by BMW and then fluffed about a bit to make it an MG.  At the end of the day anyone but an MG apologist (or Nick as I like to call him) is going to say 'it's a Rover 75' because it is.

A few different bushes, mountings and a bodykit do not a completely different car make.

It's a ponced up Rover 75.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

Whoever designed it or owned the company at the time doesnt really matter.
The main minus factor with this car now is the fact that the company that built it no longer exists!


Its a Dodo car!

I see you've not replaced the diesel badge on the back Nick.  Are you ashamed?

I think you'll find MG is still a going concerning and is designing and building cars in a small place called Birmingham in the midlands in a little known factory called Longbridge. I think you'll also find they are entering 2 works cars in the BTCC this year with multiple champion Jason Plato piloting one of them.

I should also point out that while the ZT is no longer sold here, it's still sold as the MG7 in china and the rover 75 as the Rowee 750. Parts are plentiful and can be got from many independents as well as main MG dealers including upgraded parts like LED rear light clusters etc.
