Talk:MG cars

message: I see a new paragraph has appeared describing the origins of the M.G. name.  The trouble is I can't understand it.  It seems to say that the initials don't stand for Morris Garages but rather for the initials for Morris Garages which seems a very narrow distinction. One thing is certain, on all the early advertisements and letter headings it was never MG but always M.G.. 
Also, can anyone give a source to the story that Cecil Kimber said M.G. didn't stand for anything. Without a source this rather contentious statement should not be there. Malcolma 20:03, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Origin of the M.G. name

message: I think we need to say something more about MG's successes in these in the 1930s - in racing and trialling, it was not just the works team - the three musketeers, cream crackers etc. -- Beardo 13:08, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I fear pointing out how the MG racing cars of the 30's dominated the World might cast aspersions that the typical Nazi Germany fans here running Wiki day to day op's might find distracting from their global propaganda campaign.  You know the typical nonsense about how the Nazi's were right, and the world would be such a grand place if Winston Churchill and the Americans had joined in behind the Nazi cause.Bugatti35racer (talk) 17:41, 16 September 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Record breaking and racing 

message: It appears this article has been renamed without any discussion. Apart from the fact that the current UK company name, as of January 2009 is not "MG Motor Limited", but MG Motor UK Limited, per WP:UCN, we should use follow the most common usage when naming articles. Since the "MG Motor UK" name has been in use for only a few months (and the MG brand has been around since 1924), I would suggest this isn't the most common usage.

thread_title:  Renaming to MG Motor 

message: Even though MG is in foreign hands the HQ is still in the UK and the brand is british. I will change it to Chinese owned!

thread_title:  Chinese? British! 

message: This article was created to be about MG Cars, a now defunct British car maker.  The brand it created does live on, but MG Cars (the original company) does not - it was absorbed decades ago.  Other companies, including British Motor Corporation, Rover Group and MG Rover have owned the marque since then, and each have their own articles.  Today the marque is owned by Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation which also has its own article, and which created a new company in the UK, MG Motor UK Limited to assemble cars.  However, that new company is exactly that, a new company, so should have an article of its own.  This article should not be converted into an article about that company. -- de Facto (talk). 21:28, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

message: :Feel free to state your position on the renaming proposal by beginning a new line in this section with *Support or *Oppose, then sign your comment with ~~~~. Since polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account Wikipedia's policy on article titles.
*Weak neutral on the proposed title, however the current one is absolutely wrong and if this discussion doesn't come to a conclusion soon it should be reverted back to MG Cars while this is worked out. From the looks of it this article is as much about the MG marque as it is about the manufacturer, and I think MG Cars is the more common name. However, I could be persuaded otherwise. --Sable232 (talk) 20:05, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Survey

message: User LoyaltyCard moved the article to Morris Garages (Cars) without prior discussion so I have reverted the change. His logic seems to have been that the company is now called Morris Garages which it is not. Malcolma (talk) 19:50, 17 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with your revert, the MG Car Company was never actually called "Morris Garages". Letdorf (talk) 00:14, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

"What's the reason you deleted my edits of MG motor[edit]
Why did you reverted my edits of MG motor and what is *No and NO*? At least give a proper reason about why you reverted? And you can see that there is nothing wrong in my edit. I clearly mentioned that its a Chinese owned british brand as it is now more clear that's its a chinese brand and not a british brand. Do revert back my edits! Thanks Badassboy 63637 (talk) 06:12, 26 June 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: What are my own words? It's the reality that its a chinese owned british suv and we have to mention it in the first line so that readers can find out its a chinese owned british suv and not a British suv. SO lets change it! And they are NOT MY OWN WORDS because its the reality Badassboy 63637 (talk) 07:44, 26 June 2021 (UTC)
