All of this is a shame. On my recent trip to England I visited a Rover dealer
and
took a test ride and a close look at the Rover 75 and was quite impressed.
Frankly
it may be the best family sedan on the market in the UK. I suspect it is a much
better car than past models. The car gets raves everywhere it is sold except at
home. By the way is it true that most English are a little bit colour blind? I
saw
so few bright and cheerful cars, but the beer and the friendly welcome I
recieved
more than made up for the dreary automobile landscape.
Cheers,
Bob
