MG Means "Modern Gentleman" Now
January 12, 2007 · Posted in Uncategorized
No longer "Morris Garages" of old. According to those savvy inquisitors over @ Top Gear, they've sussed out the fact that MG's current corporate parents – the executives at Nanjing Automotive – decided that the letters M & G should stand for "modern" and "gentlemen", respectively.
The logic apparently goes something like this – you are what you drive – so if you're a guy who's just bought a brand new MG straight off the assembly line in Oklahoma, you are likely to be thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent. Or something of the kind.
Wait, no – that's if you buy a Ford Escape Hybrid.
