MG ZR ZS ZT Technical - Not Selling!

Just read a story on MGR that will give me nightmares to night. MGR need to sell 50,000 MGs as part of there recover plan, i think so far they only moved 2500 or so. Ok 15,000 to 25,000 a year is not bad but the likes of Ford, Vauxhall, Mini(BMW) will have there hot versions out next year. Add to this a down turn in sales, it does not look good!

Where have you got your figures from. You are sounding like negative journos of yore. Remember it was only last week we were discussing 37% increase in sales. Now some of these must be MG's and not Rover's.

We need to get the figures from the DVLC!

that figure 50,000 mg units a year is based on world wide sales not just UK, when the rest of the world get their hands on them the numbers will rise steeply :o)

Good point Kev.

50,000/12 = 4,160 per month. Therefore 2,500 UK sales can't be that bad for the first month of real sales.

Lest we forget the shortages of parts which have delayed production/shipments, therfore registrations.
And there are still waiting lists........

Sales of the MG vehicles to private customers were about 3500 in September. I know Ive seen quite a few in West Yorkshire and the dealers are to be blunt sh*t

That's the problem - the dealership network. Not selling the things but maintaining them. Some of them don't give a damn.

One bad visit could mean no repeat orders. I had this experience when I had a couple of Vuaxhalls! :(

Whenever I hear of bad reports written in the press I always ask if the author is one David Parsley. The clearly biased and almost personal attacks by this said journo in the Sunday Times reduced his and the editors credibilty to new lows.

Roger, said journo used to freelance for Auto Express and used the same viscous prose in attacking MGR.

Time to eat his words! Just need people to buy the new exciting products!
