Does that mean Mazdas should be banned too... and some Toyotas, as they're made in Britain, same goes for the Civic Type R.

I think not...

Well GM and Subaru are supposed to be working on MPV's together aren't they???????

GM'll be buying Fiat next anyway, so probably no rush for them to get anyone else just yet.

Simon (never bought a car from a GM or Ford owned company, and proud of it!).

I'd forgotten about that one, so that leaves Honda (Acura) and Toyota (Lexus) then?

....Renault have owned 40% off Nissan since early 2000, thats why the build quality will go down hill.

Hmmm, a Vauxhall Imprezza just doesn't sound right
