What's in a name?

There was a time when MG meant something different. But in a world full of soulless electrics, MG has dropped this... India's most affordable convertible

If you're a car enthusiast you'd know that there was a time when MG meant something different. Open-top sports cars with names like MGB and TF, best enjoyed with stringback gloves and a tweed cap, rumbling gently past hedge-lined British Broads while you whistled Vera Lynn. It was a brand soaked in sepia-tone nostalgia, with more charm than outright speed. But that MG is gone, sold to the Chinese giant SAIC and given a jolt so potent it could raise the eyebrows of a defibrillator. What we have now is the MG Cyberster - an all-electric, scissor-doored, drop-top roadster that looks like it should've been parked outside the Met Gala, not an MG dealership. It's a concept car made real, an automotive fever dream with an EV heart and a Hollywood face. And yet, beneath the Insta-friendly styling, there's a fascinating question: is this a proper driver's car, or just electric cosplay?
