I am in the process of buying a MG ZS 120, I am worried that there is a new shape or model just around the corner that will be released? I have heard rumours and thought you guys could set my mind straight?

Welcome to the board. Firstly take a look under Goosip on the ZS sub page on the main site - then browse the new 45 threads. I think you will find the car won't be here until 2004 at the earliest. Maybe MGR would like to think it will, but I doubt it - also take a look at the TCV sub forum - this could be the new 45.

I agree that the basic 400/45/ZS has been around for a while, but MGR are still developing the car. Furthermore, there is an "Ultimate" version somewhere around the corner, rumoured to be 230bhp.

Also, take a look at the Monogram scheme just brought in - you can do anything to change the look of the car. So don't be afraid - you know it makes sense - decisions - which colour - I like Anthracite and Solar Red followed by Trophy Blue on the ZS series.

Well first of all thanks for the prompt reply! I have chosen Trophy Blue, I have also added the bib spoiler side skirts leather interior and 17's the idea being that it has the looks of a 180 but the insurance rating of a 120 - Its good to hear that the new shape is rumoured for 2004 ish that means many years happy motoring knowing mine is the current model.

......And if you check out the trackday threads you'll see that the ZS is qiute enough to give Scooby and Titty drivers food for thought!

The ZS - handles period - don't be afraid in buying one. I've met Kev Neal through MGR and I've seen his standard ZS180 beat TT's - Audi S3's and dare I say it Scoobies. (but not EVO's ).

The car is the performance car of the decade - VERY close to buying one myself in anthracite or a ZT-T in the same colour (maybe Monogram)! April you will know - how can I not have an MG! If there is any doubt - there's none - BUY ONE - you will not be disappointed!

I can only agree with what has already been said. The ZS handles like a dream. Even with the 120 the performance is great.

I know the ZS180 is good, but there is a limit. An EVO in std form makes 280bhp - are you sure you didn't dream the "P" reg EVO?

If I still have mine on the trackday, then I'll let you follow me to keep your dream alive.
