GM Said Antilock Brakes To Be Equipped On 70 Percent Of Its 2003 Models - General Motors Corp - Brief Article
Which leads us to the introduction of the MG TF, a revised version of the MG-F, and a vehicle much closer to U.S.-spec. than its predecessor. Whether it will make it over here or not is unknown, but the possibility is closer than ever before. I’m betting on 2003, despite a slight softening in the sports car market. That will pass as the economy improves, and the MG name is surprisingly well-known in the U.S.
Side airbags, which the auto maker earlier had said would remain standard only on Cadillac and Saab, now will remain on both of those nameplates as well as the Buick Park Avenue and Oldsmobile Aurora and Silhoutte.
Yes, MG Rover must partner with a major OEM to replace its aging 25 and 45 models (the 75 is nearly new) if it sticks with conventional design and assembly methods, but talks are underway about doing just that. If they fail, well there are always new approaches. And I have a sneaking suspicion Lola is investigating chassis built from flat sheets of honeycomb aluminum to replace conventional unit body structures (and their cost).
