The Hyperlogos

MG Rover is a conglomeration of two of the UK's most venerable brands - obviously, MG and Rover. It is currently owned by Nanjing Automobile of China; they paid only 53 million pounds for the majority of their assets. Nanjing is reopening the plant at MG's home in Longbridge, and also plans to open an American branch in Oklahoma, US; a US plant is planned, as is a plant in China.

MG is notable for their longevity - their current vehicles are not extremely inspiring and none of them are exceptional. Rover has the most advanced valvetrain on the planet (offering continuously variable lift, duration, and timing) but generally makes sedans and wagons.
