\"\"<\/a>Inside Line has a rendering of that still-in-the-works successor to the MG TF<\/a>. It isn’t exactly a shock, as it looks much like a slightly evolved version of the current and soon-to-be-dead MG TF. The real revolution will be what the body rests on and what powers it – Chinese owner SAIC is reportedly still playing around with platform possibilities, but it doesn’t look like the company is any closer than before to finding a partner for that aspect of the project.<\/p>\n

The roadster’s motivation will be thanks to an engine in front turning the wheels in back, just as God intended. Powerplant options<\/a> are said to be a small General Motors<\/a> diesel, a conventional V6 and an in-house hybrid. The natural question posed is: where is the four-cylinder? Who knows, maybe SAIC plans to skip that step and pwn the Mazda MX-5 Miata<\/a> with its revelatory handling chops<\/a>. No matter which they choose, if the body in the illustration can be trusted, it will be handsome enough to make the attempt. No hurries on a decision – we still have three years before it goes into production, and we’ve heard promises of MG’s revival in the States before, so we’re not holding our breath.<\/p>\n
