  Dacia Duster to Arrive in UK From Under £10,000 23 Mar 2012 (News)

Reilly said these would be run from the Company's newly established European Operation which he added would probably be headquartered in Zurich to make the best uses of the synergies with GM Europe and to leverage existing distribution operations around the countries.

  SEAT celebrates its 60th birthday 11 May 2010 (News)
  The 1960s The appeal of the 600 lasted throughout the 1950s and 60s and this small car was lovingly dubbed simply ‘seiscientos' in its homeland. It is to Spain no less than the Citroen 2CV is to France, the Fiat 500 to Italy, the Mini to the United Kingdom and the Volkswagen Beetle to Germany - a people's car. By 1973, a total of 800,000 had been built. In the 60s early experiments with exports followed - hampered in part by Fiat demands that the 600 should be produced only for its local market.

  Honest John's Motoring Agony Column 13-6-2015 13 Jun 2015 (News)
  For an engine to cut out when driving on a busy road could have fatal consequences, as following traffic would receive no warning and could well crash into one from behind. This is particularly likely in France in our experience, where tailgating seems to be a national sport. We await your comments with interest. CWD, Oxted Good point. In addition to that, I keep telling people never to put anything else on the same keyring as their car keys.
