MG Response
A listener wondered if his car had been upgraded with the latest software when he found the very performance disappointing. The response from MG is as follows 


The background to car badges

If ever we needed proof that all is not always as it seems, the Porsche badge is a perfect example.
While it looks like it’s been around forever, that’s far from the case.
Porsche is, of course, named after Ferry Porsche, the son of Ferdinand Porsche and designer of the Auto-union racers and the Kraft durche Freude people’s car (or Volkswagen).
But the badge was designed in response to a request from American Porsche importer, Max Hoffmann who thought sporting cars needed a badge worthy of their stature.
First appearing in 1953, the shield features the curving stag horns and colours of Baden-Württemburg while the centrepiece is the crest of the city of Stuttgart.
The rampant horse (reminiscent of the Ferrari badge) comes from origins in the Middle Ages – Stuttgart was a stud farm on the banks of the River Neckar.

A medium SUV that is quite a complete package.
