Here is the Hollywood-style ROVER 75 (Chinese call it ROEWE 750) commercial in Chinese TV. The sales has started nation-wide on January 31 year of 2007 and commercial is playing on national CCTV and other important media.
The national sales order for the first two week
rocket to 3211 even when the nation-wide sales network is not built up completely. Now the order volume is stable at the number of 300 for one day.
SAIC is third-biggest automobile manufacturer in China boasting 15 billion USD sales volume 1.5 million vehicles for 2006 and is one of the FORTUNE world's 500 companies. SAIC benefited a lot from Chinese booming automobile business starting year of 2004. Now China has grown up and exceeded USA to become the world's biggest auto market at the begining of year 2009. After merging Korea's SSANGYONG Motor and Rover, SAIC is gearing up to China's lucrative up-level full-size car market segment.
One of the key elements for SAIC's looking-good start of ROVER 75 sale in China is Rover's good reputation in China. Car from Great Britain is usually regarded by Chinese as luxury for a few like Rolls Royce. And ROVER represents a culture of noble and royal soul. And this is also the selling point addressed and emphasized by SAIC all through its commerical and promotion.
Will Rover 75 succeed in the long term? This depends on the quality and reliability of new ROVER 75.
The Chinese subtitle translated into English as following:
There are only two ways in the world: one is the past behind, another is the future ahead; there are only two cars on the road: one is to pass down the generation for a long time, one is to inherit the glory and open up a future.
Innovation inherits and creates a glorious future.

Well, we all know MG Rover are dead, in heaven, and dwell in the happy hunting grounds of the beyond. Do we need to visualize it. The opening is perfect, Rover sunk underwater.
China buying a brand name and "lifting" the engineering specs from Longbridge doesn't continue a tradition, it just shows us what the Chinese do best, knock offs.
Corporate structure and communism is a marriage made in the back-room of glass building called the "office box".
what? what happend with rover?
WHAT A RUBISH COMMERCIAL WITH SUCH A CAR (ROVER) this ? what? what is this?
Well everyone has their own opinion, Britain don't have their own car Company/manufacture, but they have best engineer designer for performance car, as what I know that British economic can not be massive production trend in now days, and it would get best economic profile, instead as own the superior techniques. And provide high profitable service, which is the way Britain transforms to. And we have known that most F1 racing car built in Britain. The British design team work for BMW...
prove me wrong if I make any mistakes. first, does Britain still have a car industry? second, why dont u just buy the design and brand back? third, do u make enough money to afford one of these cars? LOL, sour grape theory is fully demonstrated by u here. way back in time, "superior" caucasians said the same thing for japanese cars, guess what? japanese cars are beating the shit out of white cars nowadays. feel embarrassed?
Many of the problems owners experienced with head gasket failure were brought about due to poor servicing. If you check the oil and coolant regularly, any serious damage can be avoided.
Yep. From my understanding Lotus have been doing all the design work for the new K(N)-Series engine including the head gasket. To be fair, the K didn't have much of a problem with this although it did exist, obviously. When you look at manufacturers warranty return figures, very few of them (relatively) related to the head gasket. However there was a problem initially and the press rounded on MG Rover unfairly.
Lotus use a multi-layer steel headgasket, which is what the new K series (N series?) will have fitted.
Unfortunately head gasket failure was common on the Rover/MG K-series.

PRoduction at Longbridge is due to begin sometime in the spring of 2010. So far as the engines are concerned, the percentage of HG problems with the K-series was small, but the press heavied on them (as usual). The engine designs went to Lotus from what I recall, who also used the k-series engine (so it can't be that bad) for re-design and the head gasket problem has been resolved and with one or two other rfinements will be called the N-series. It is a fabulously smooth motor...
The MG7 (Rover 75) wont be coming to the UK. Three brand new cars are being designed at the moment by the design team which is in the process of moving into the Longbridge design centre. There will be a new TF, a new medium sised car based on the designs for the Rover 550 and a small sporty car to replace the MG ZR. All the cars for the European market will be built at Longbridge, though there will be a greater degree if imported parts.
I'm interested to see these when they ship to the UK/Ireland. It would have to be a great car with many improvments to sell here...I would worry if the K series engines are still in them.
I have had enough issues with those engines..
Yeah you are dead right. Our Connoisseur V6 had to have the engine rebuilt. Bill for £2.5k. Lovely car but you have to check the oil and water every couple of weeks. I have an MG with same engine. Worrying!
no doubt so much for solving the problem in 2002
Coz, why was Ford saying that? not Toyota, Honda, VW, NISSAN...... is ford doin better than TOYOTA? is ford still doin good on the market?? its just ridiculous!!!
Tell me,when did you work at Longbridge or Cowley?
Only things China are good for is good food and damned decent affordable consumer garden and display fireworks sold in the UK!
keep making our junk brits, keep making our shoes, computers, and cars so we can concentrate on moonbases, and laser guns! haha
wonder will the headgaskets continue to go kaboom every 30k still.
Why do u say ford is a looser, why? Tell me why, u cant just say its a looser?
thats why fords becoming a looser
Rovee Wrong Way!
Yep, sooo right!
Good on ford!
Ford mocked it and said "wrong way!"
What 'workforce' ... the british haven't had a bloody 'workforce' since Leyland f*cked things up! Thanks to the bloody british 'workforce' this beautiful car was killed of by the germans and a handful of british frauds.
