Anything negative about it would be nitpicking, although I have to say I don't think it's a beautiful looking car. There was a guy in a new BMW (don't know the model) at traffic lights a few days ago who thought he could beat me. He didn't. Not even close!

I'd rather buy a used jap car than a new one from china. Just the though of a china car is repulsive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you aware that some Audi and Volvo models are made in China? And that 21.36 million Volkswagens were manufactured in China in 2019? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IvorBiggun2 Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Quote American automakers such as Buick have told the media that they don’t believe Americans care where their car is built, as long as quality stays consistent. That is why some automakers have invested in Chinese manufacturing facilities and have been testing the potential to sell Chinese-built cars in the United States in the last few years.

I think you are dismissing the facts and diverting stuff to my medical condition because you cannot see the wood from the trees. ???? Now if you cannot see that the use of the words 'British', Brit, Passion Driving since 1924, Union Jack flags on the boot is not pointing a purchaser (you) to it being a British ride then you are deluded .
