I know they’ve bought MG Rover, but I still find all these news items about Chinese automakers on AROnline depressing. It’s well… so not AR.
@Chris
I believe you will find that most, if not all, of the News stories filed under the China Watch heading relate to SAIC Group/SAIC Motor as opposed to any of the other Chinese OEMs.
The destiny of the MG marque and, potentially, a number of other BMC>MG legacy brands now lies in the hands of SAIC Group/SAIC Motor. SAIC Group/SAIC Motor’s activities and fiscal performance in China therefore have a direct impact on the companies’ ability to develop and market the new range of MGs on a global basis.
AROnline will, therefore, continue to run News items about SAIC Group/SAIC Motor’s operations in China so as to ensure that our readers are kept as fully informed as possible about the context in which SAIC Motor and MG Motor UK are planning MG’s revival.
Depressing yes, but it’s the way things have gone. Basically the fate of the Longbridge site and the potential to build future cars there is in the hands of SAIC, so it makes sense to see stories about them. Must admit though, a table of companies I’ve never heard of doesn’t mean a lot to me…
@Dennis
A fair point… However, we should remember that China overtook the USA as the World’s largest automotive market in 2009 and we would all be foolish to underestimate the significance of that fact.
I think that the best way of underlining the relevance of the Table above might just be to point out that the company at No.16, Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Company Limited, has recently agreed to buy Volvo Car Corporation (Volvo Cars) from Ford Motor Company…
