Although the car isn"t...

Although the car isn"t due in the UK until autumn, we brought you an initial glimpse of it in our issue 786 spy shots. And now the model has been officially launched in its native country, we"ve got the first pictures. The Gen.2 is a big step forward for Proton, with a fresh look that blends the best bits of many of today"s most popular vehicles. While the headlights are similar to those on BMW"s 6-Series, the most distinctive features are at the rear, where sweeping tail-lamps emphasise the sloping roofline.



It works like this...

It works like this: you register with the website, and describe what you want, down to the smallest detail (that means specc"ing your car very carefully!) and then set a time limit for the bargain-hunters to do their best. The haggler who posts the lowest price before the deadline gets 20% of the saving (compared to the best price you"ve found already).

And popular-selling...

And popular-selling black cars and vans have a 12 per cent higher chance.

If the company is put...

If the company is put into formal receivership, the standard mechanical breakdown cover on all its motors sold in the last three years could be worthless, as the policies are funded solely by the Midlands manufacturer.

We spoke to a number of MG Rover owners who voiced concerns. James Ollerenshaw from London has an MG ZT and said: "The warranty is my biggest worry. If something goes wrong, I don"t know if I"ll be able to get the car fixed for free." Jacqueline Caldwell of Glasgow, who owns an MG ZS120, told us: "I"m worried about the warranty and the value of the car. I"d like to keep it, but that depends on the availability of parts and the cover."

Edwin Heycock from south Wales is also concerned about residual values. He revealed: "My main worry is that it will be hard to sell my Rover 75. I may just have to run it until it"s completely worthless." We called a dealer, posing as a customer wanting some warranty work done. The service manager at EMG MG Rover in Epsom, Surrey, said: "We are not taking any warranty work until the situation is clarified. We"re in limbo at the moment." But extended warranties are unaffected.
