I believe GM/Vauxhall bought them - although I could have just made that up.
That's the kind of thing I mean though - a no-nonsense drivers' car, none of this ESP ABS USP USB nonsense with an optional 'fragrance filter', FFS.Comment

Don't confuse the cars the Japs are building now with the cars of the 70s, they are the best built mid range cars. Anyway, what does the badge mean? They are giving you a taste of a >100k car for a fraction of the price. If it had a VW badge would you consider it, even if it were less reliable?Originally posted by miffy View PostIt is a great car baggy, I wouldn't turn my nose up if someone gave one to me and it looks great (it's not everyones cup of tea obviously!).
I just couldn't justify that kind of spend on what I still see as a datsun.
I wonder if it came from the same factory as the 120Y
(if only it were the same price as the states)The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment

It might well be true! I know they put together the VX220's in their shed.Originally posted by realityhack View Post I believe GM/Vauxhall bought them - although I could have just made that up.

I know exactly what you mean though. I didn't think anyone made cars without all those gadgets/aids/safety carp on anymore.
It's the playstation generation now. Look forward to more "ooosby" ports in your dash & centre console!

I can picture it now...
'I'd like a car, please'
'Would that be the latest urbane hatchback, or the more va va voomy saloon, sir?'
'What? What cars do you sell here?'
'Oh sir, you see, it's more of a lifestyle choice we sell here.'
'Right'
'So, which optional extras would you like, the iPod dock, B&O speakers, a non-static carpet, seats that 'hug' you, a multimedia system, a pez dispenser, climate-control?'
'Er, no - I have those kinds of things in my lounge. Do you have any proper cars here then or what?'
'Well, if it's basic you want sir, we have this Fiat 500...'
'I'd rather dive into a tank of sea-urchins that be seen dead in that'
'Erm, well... what about an optional dashboard vase?'Comment
