Kees, you're joking, right?

Peculiar comment.
What British car industry, apart from some assembling plants and niche 
manufacturers, are they talking about?
The problem in Europe with French (Renault, Peugeot/Citrokn) and Italian 
(Fiat/Alfa Romeo/Lancia/Ferrari, Lamborgini etc.) car makes is quality. 
Nearly the same goes for some German cars (Ford, BMW, Opel  and to a 
lesser extend Volkswagen/Audi/Seat, Spanish VW clone, /Skoda, Tsjech VW 
clone, Mercedes). The same goes for USA cars. This was also the real 
reason of the downfall of British industry.
They simply still cannot match the Japanese (Toyota, Subaru, Nissan, 
Mazda, Daihatsu etc.) and recently the Koreans (Hyundai, Kia, Chevrolet 
etc.) on quality.
On the EU continent we even try to avoid UK made Nissans and prefer the 
identical but better built Asian import.
