The last new MG was the MGF sportscar way back in 1995, and oh, what a difference 14 years makes. The MG6 is the first new MG by the company's new owner, Shanghai Automotive Industry Corp. (SAIC), and they've chosen a four-door liftback for their coming out party. <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/News/NewsArticle/AllCars/244895/">About the size of a VW Golk/Skoda Octavia</a>, the MG6 will be powered by either a naturally aspirated 1.8-litre four-cylinder with 133 brake horsepower and 135 pound-feet of torque, or a turbocharged 1.8-liter with 160 bhp and 158 lb-ft. Shifting is said to be via five-speed automatic.<br />
<br />
The MG 6 will go on sale in China first, but it has reportedly been engineered to meet global safety standards and is expected to be exported. SAIC hasn't given any numbers or even locations for export yet, but the company president said they plan to <a href="http://www.aronline.co.uk/wordpress/2009/11/20/mg-uk-first-all-new-mg-since-1995-to-be-launched-on-monday/">produce it in the UK</a> by the end of next year.<br />
