MG's current owners, China’s Nanjing Automobile Group Corp., originally planned to bring the legendary marque back to the United States in the summer 2008. Well new announcements have showed that those plans have been pushed back indefinitely. Plans also had included building MG's in Oklahoma from kits shipped from China.

"The U.S.A. isn't on the short-term radar as an anticipated market for us, but with the right product, it would be good to return there," Gary Hagen, marketing director of NAC MG. No reason was given as to why NAC MG changed it's US release plans. It was simply stated that "The deal fell through".

MGs were last sold in the United States in 1980. Since then many plans to reintroduce the brand to the US have never come to fruition.
