Chinese automaker Nanjing Automobile Group — which took over Britain’s MG after its collapse in 2005 — plans to build a factory in Ardmore, Oklahoma to builds the next-generation TF coupe, the company announced today. A new research and development center will also be set up at the University of Oklahoma. As previously rumored, MG’s Longbridge plant in the U.K. will be used to build the roadster version of the TF. Nanjing plans to build between 12,000 and 16,000 TFs per year. About 60 percent of TF output for the world will come from the United States, while 40 percent will come from Europe. The automaker will also use a third plant in China to build MG sedans. The new MG cars will go on sale in the United States in early summer 2008, the automaker said.
