MG ZP11 to launch in 2010, Roewe limo may be dropped
China Car Times, 22 Dec '09

With the Roewe 350 about to launch on the tail of the MG6, MG will get its own version of the Roewe 350, which has been codenamed MG ZP11 and is likely to be the MG5, or even 3.

2010 is set to be a big year for MG and Roewe with SAIC planning to launch the Roewe 350 in around March, plus a facelift MG3 SW will make an appearence in the middle of 2010 alongside a facelift Roewe 750, as well as the Roewe SUV.

However, according to other information the MGZP11 is likely to wipe out the current MG3 series, and may well usher in a new MG3 SW rather than giving the current one a facelift. The MGZP11 is rumored to be carrying 1.5L and 1.8L engines, with the highest models getting dual clutch gearboxes.

The Roewe limo that was spotted out testing is apparently set to get the chop from any future Roewe line up; Roewe apparently had enough parts to build 200 cars but have since decided to scrap the project.
