What is it?

Sir,

Could it be that we now see the ultimate “marketing men’s car” in the new Rover? From its front, we have Jaguar, from the rear BMW, internals basically Honda and from the side it could pass off as anything! One can only wonder how the poor Viking Ship must feel with such a loss of direction on the part of the marque!

I’m sure it goes well and I do hope for the sake of all at Rover, it is more reliable than the Rover SD1 we bought in the early Eighties as our new company car. The gearbox failed, we had new cams in the engine and to add insult to injury, all the door windows jammed open one summer’s evening on approaching the point of no return when entering a car-wash! My wife, who was driving at the time was not over impressed!
