It works both ways Jazz

Hey Jazz, as you have pointed out Fiat are rebranding their own cars and selling them as Chryslers and Jeeps etc. Well. it works both ways too - Fiat are sticking Lancia badges on Chryslers also.

Perhaps it's their ploy to increase reliability! :P

It's a way to deceive the buyer,
they think they have bought something nice,
but it's just a bloody Fiat.

VW only bought into Suzuki so they could sell a Suzuki with a VW badge.

I cringe at the thought of seeing a Lancia Voyager haha. Oh my. The founders of Lancia would be turning in their graves.

Oh dear, nice one!

But Suzuki has found nothing worth having form VW, is sick of the arrogance of the Germans, and the partnership deal is in trouble:http://www.thecarconnection.com/news/1065997_vw-suzuki-alliance-hits-the-skids

You guys don't know anything about European cars and are just buying into the drivel used car salesmen and incompetent garages spill

I want to hear what Jazz has to say on this. Bumpage!

He already did on another thread, didn't he!

They tried to buy into suzuki to get to the indian market. break into that then you got plenty of money coming in.

He's still lurking around. He tends to avoid threads he gets completely owned in. Just waits for them to die down and then he comes back on and starts up again.

with a Mercedes engine the Flavia should be nothing but reliable, unlike the shitboxes made in thailand and korea that kiwis buy in droves.

It's not a Mercedes engine it's Chrysler's version of the GEMA engine and has more in common with the Mitsubishi and Hyundai derivatives than anything else. The rest of the car will still be American made and therefore fall apart around the engine.

I agree that generalisations can be misleading but as for my comments regarding VW, I stand by them.
Skoda make a better VW.
