indeed... but how else could you mass produce cars in the amount of time they do? about 3/4 of fords product line uses the same 3.1L V6 engine... from trucks, to suvs to cars
Personally I want another Alfa Romeo, but as for the whole GM/Ford thing, Id rather GM. (Vauxhall in the uk come under GM) I'm looking at this from a british market, but I think Fords are a little cheaper looking than vauxhalls (which don't look to amazing!) but our business uses vauxhall vehicles and we had a ford before which was absolute rubbish... so go figure!
I wouldn't worry about Pre Ford / Post Ford. They're all still hand built by craftsmen. And TBH, if it wasn't for Ford they're probably wouldn't be an Aston Martin. And we wouldn't have what's arguably the best car AM's made - the Vanquish.
Chrysler/Jeep/Eagle/amc/MOPAR/Dodge/Plymouth/Mercedes/Daimler/Mitsubishi/Maserati/FUSO/Hyundai/Freightliner/Western Star Trucks/Sterling Trucks/Setra/Maybach/C-Smart/... Only the Largest Automobile Company in the WORLD...
Something European please, BMWs, Alfas.....Mercs Or is Mercedes now part of Daimler Chrysler now so no longer count as Stuttgarts finest or properly European? I'd say VW as well, but after our two new Passats, I think not.
Daimler Benz. Lambourghini or TVR...simply for their apparent lack of recognition for sanity when it comes to car design. *n
I Picked Ford becuase Im a fan of the History and Henry Ford r0x0rs j00 b0x0rs! I like GM alot also and now that Dodge brought back the hemi me likes them also. I like Rice burners alot cause they are cool and the luxury and speed of Mercedes and Porsche are more than enough to drool over!
exactly! I just give him props for being one of the big ball rollers. I think all cars are cool and im a fan of the older cars anyway so really give me a 1970 GTO or a 1968 SuperBee w/Hemi
hmmmm... I seem to remember Chrysler owning Lambo - I can't recall if they're currently owned by another company - I want to say they're owned by Audi now...
Okay, here's a complete (last I knew) list of who owns what... DaimlerChrysler... * Mercedes-Benz * Smart * Sterling * Freightliner * Setra * Chrysler * Dodge * Jeep * Mopar General Motors... * Buick * Cadillac * Chevrolet * GMC * Hummer * Oldsmobile * Pontiac * Saab * Saturn * GM Fleet * Holden * Opel * Vauxhall * Fiat * Subaru/Fuji * Isuzu * Suzuki Ford... * Ford (duh) * Lincoln * Mercury * Mazda * Volvo * Jaguar * Land Rover * Aston Martin As far as Lambourghini goes, it is owned by Audi and Audi is owned by Volkswagon. So, technically, VW owns Lambourghini. Before Audi bought Lambourghini, it WAS owned by Chrysler for a time. In fact, the Viper was developed durring the time that Lambourghini was owned by Chrysler and the folks at Lambourghini helped develop the engine. Side note: Bugatti is owned by VW
Yep - hence the Veyron concepts et cetera... And the use of the W12 engine Anyone remember the Lambourghini Cala concept car? Very pretty - was developed during the Chrysler years. *n
