Remember the MG Roadsters way back in the 60s and 70s?
Anyways since the Chinese now owns MG and Rover, and I find this strange that MG is making a comeback by being built in a new Chinese-owned factory in Oklahoma.

Its a surprise to see the Chinese quickly set up a car factory right in America. It took what 20 years for both the Japanese and the Koreans to import their cars before putting up factories in America. GM just closed the Trailblazer EXT factory in Oklahoma City then the Chinese come to Oklahoma to set up a car factory..weird aint it eh?

OKLAHOMA CITY (AFX) - The MG, which gained a reputation in the 1960s as a good-handling, affordable English sports car, will take on a new life under a Chinese company that wants to resurrect the automotive brand in hopes of appealing to a new generation of car buyers.
Nanjing Automobile Corp., China's oldest carmaker, announced Wednesday plans to locate a manufacturing facility and parts distribution center for the car at the Ardmore Airpark in south-central Oklahoma. This would be the first Chinese automotive plant in the United States.
