Re: Japanese Car Syndrome - You Won't Remember!

Well my next car is going to be a VW. I'll be placing the order on Monday. I like the Merc but I find the seats uncomfortable.

I drive a Merc, I don't find the seats in German cars as comfortable as those found in Jap cars.

Nope, the company is foreign owned, like Bentley, Rolls, Ford. Vauxhall. Jaguar Land Rover. Mg and Lotus.

Aston Martin is effectively owned by Lawrence Stroll, Toto Wolff and a couple of Italians as well as one Asian.

I remember when it was totally British Owned by David Brown.

As a youngster I used to poach his trout lake.

We never used to catch much and he always treated it as a bit of a joke.

Companies are not owned by countries unless they are nationalised.
