of diesel would also be available. Tata/JLR, I hope you're taking note of this idea. OK, so would this work? There's only one way to answer that and that is to put it to a public vote. Who, having read this and seen the images, would buy one of these over an Audi A4/5, BMW 3-Series or Mercedes-Benz C-Class? Does anyone think that I'm a sentimental nitwit pining for the past? Over to you. 21 Responses I love the idea. However, I am not quite sure if the dashboard design would appeal to many people. Moreover, wasn't the retro-strategy one of the reasons that people started turning away from Rovers and buying more contemporary designs? I love fastbacks and love the idea of creating a modern day SD1 but I feel it should not have retro features like this dashboard, which will appeal only to people who love SD1s. For them, an A4-class car will be too small... Anyway, let's hope the MG6 will, indeed, be produced at Longbridge -- that could be the start of a new era for modern cars designed in Britain. Let's just hope SAIC never move design to China . . . Ralph, I can see your point about SD1 lovers wanting a larger car but I doubt that this would be done as JLR have the XF in the slot above. I admit I'd considered doing this as a niche product with a Range Rover inspired P6-type car sitting in the BMW 3-Series slot
