Longbridge back in business

The Longbridge ex-BMC plant near Birmingham (UK) was reopened recently after being closed for two years after the collapse of MG Rover, which cost over 6,000 workers their jobs. The plant was reopened with a lavish ceremony by new Chinese owners Nanjing Automobile Corp., which will be building the MG TF. (Unless, of course, the bloody workers kill it with excessive wage demands and strikes, like they and inept management killed the rest of the British auto industry in the 60s and 70s).

What about Oklahoma?

Does anyone know what the scuttlebutt for the Nanjing Automobile Corp., that was suppose to open in the Old GM plant in Okla City, OK?
It made some of the local news here last year but have not heard of any more progress, knowing the local politicians they most likely drove the China Company away with all the new taxes they proposed!
