MG develops new roadster with electric power

MG is taking a trip down memory lane with plans to develop a new roadster for China and other markets outside the U.S.

The classic British brand known best for its roadsters worldwide from the 1930s to 1980, is now owned by Chinese automaker SAIC and has been building SUVs and sedans for the Chinese market.

Now MG design chief Shao Jingfeng has confirmed in an interview with the Australian publication Drive that the company is developing a new roadster in the vein of the Mazda MX-5 Miata, but with a twist—this one will be electric.

There's SAIC again......

Saw a new Miata today - sweet car.

My guess (and hope) is that GM could build a very cool electric Vette if they wanted to. Might sell like hotcakes if the price was right!
