In July, China's Nanjing Automobile announced the formation of MG Cars North America/Europe, Inc., and plans to bring back the famed British marque and its sports cars. MG began selling cars in the 1920s, hit its stride with its popular sports cars in the 1940s and 1950s, but left the U.S. market in 1980. MG continued to produce cars in Europe until 2005 when MG Rover went bankrupt and Nanjing bought its assets.
Nanjing's plans call for MG vehicles to be built in Nanjing, China, Nanjing's hometown; at MG Rover Group's Longbridge factory near Birmingham, England; and at a new U.S. assembly plant to be built in Ardmore, Oklahoma.
