The press were very quick to comment when they went away. They don't seem to care that they're coming back ?

Have you seen the pics of them? The 75 looks bloody nice - much nicer than the Audi's that the designer seems to have used for inspiration (not sure if it's a Richard Woolley job). The rear has some Maserati-style light clusters, the big radiator grill at the front looks great and there's a nice flowing detail line through the side of the car. The 45 looks alright too - some similarities to the new Golf but they've done a better job again IMO.

As for revival, rather suprisingly, it looks like SAIC might still be in the running:

What's your justification for that statement?

The constant "spy shots" "inside info" or "sneak previews" of future cars that have little or no base in reality or truth. The low-rent, tacky, sensationalist writing style... need I go on?

Hmmm, most of the Spyshots I see do actually appear. What would you recommend as a good 'motoring magazine'?

whats with the HUGE gap between bonnet and bumper? like what i see though, a complete overhaul of the designs has got to be better than a few chav body kits!

I thought they had quite a good rep ?

They're often first with the scoops, and I don't recall any that turned out to be bollocks :)

Hey, the Chinese have stolen Audi's grille design!

More blatant copies.

.. and done a better job of it... I thought SAIC only recently got involved in Rover, just before the end, so since that new design is already at prototype stage I would have thought it likely to be a British design?
