Of course he's not going to say anything. Companies rarely do ahead of an official announcement, even if it is an open secret.

I can't see an MG entry being anything less than awful. Do they have any money?

And are there any drivers left who would be quick enough to make it a serious effort!

They could probably get Tideman or Breen or Bouffier for the second seat, depending on funding.

Well, if the money is there and they can make a viable project of it, they will probably be able to get *someone* on-board. After all, Hyundai managed it.
Mind you, I would have explored the possibility of getting the new Honda Civic or Volvo C30 into rallying before the MG3. The Civic has been pretty competitive in other series, so it is a good platform. And Volvo have been expanding their motorsport programme of late, and I think the car is quite nice.
(I would include Toyota in that list, but we know they are already working on something of their own.)

MG will be fine if it decides to make something. It could be no worse than the MINI thing or the endless Saab rumors of a few years ago pre-GFC (I mean what is happening with them now anyway?).
