What's wrong with Rovers and Peugeots. The new Rover 75 is an excellent car, and Peugeots are superb cars, absolutely great. The cars have probably the worlds best sorted out chassis. American Volvo, with all their problems apparently give me the impression that you actually get the "JUNK". I think you live in a world 10 or 20 years ago, Fiats and Rovers are no longer the cheap and nasty cars they once were. Rover now is under the arm of BMW (which is actually going down in Quality, as opposed to Rover - their resources must be moving) Cheers, Justin Chiew Melbourne, Australia
