From China?
Nanjing [Automobile Group], which purchased the assets of the bankrupt MG Rover Group last year, aims to be the first Chinese carmaker to open a factory in the United States. The company has scheduled a news conference for Wednesday in Oklahoma to announce plans to build a newly designed MG TF Coupe there, starting in 2008. It said the coupe would compete with cars like the Mazda Miata, which sells for $20,000 to $25,000.
Also, I don’t have independent confirmation, but my mom tells me my hometown in Georgia recently reached an agreement with a Chinese company to build a factory there. Next thing you know the godless Manchurian commies will buy Rockefeller Center, or maybe a baseball team. Or, since they seem to be favoring the South, perhaps NASCAR.
