>The dumbest has to be MG. In 1959, they were third largest behind GM >and Ford in the US. 15 years later, they were gone. Like virtually all of the English carmakers, their shoddy quality shot them down. Leyland is gone, though a few of its subdsidiaries remain... making foreign cars! Pretty much all of the "English" badges now are screwed onto Japanese or German-designed cars. Except Rover, which floundres on building trash which only the English would buy. -- Andrew Grebneff Dunedin, New Zealand 64 (3) 473-8863 <andrew.grebneff@stonebow.otago.ac.nz> Fossil preparator Seashell, Macintosh & VW/Toyota van nut |
