French car industry success, yes French people baught French cars British people baught foreign cars The French government had a plan (evidently) which was to make their industrial base the best in the world and regardless of what the politics of their government they stuck to it most of the time. whether they achieved it and/or it lasts remains to be seen, but they did much better than we British. There are many other factors that effected our growth but I believe it was a lack of Government "long view" that was the prime problem, the same with Trade Union leaders. Chris.S.

A bit like the chinese did with Roewe? A British name to give a local product prestige.

The British government lied all the time about what they could and could not do with regards to our industrial might, because the EU would not allow them to ‘prop a firm up’. In that case, how did the French manage it with Peugeot? They put millions of euro’s into it. Lies lies and more lies. Exactly the same as they are doing it about leaving the EU now.

Imagine now having two Nissan dealers in the same town with customers able to wander from one to the other to get a deal? Michael Edwards tried to sort the mess out but it was never going to work. |
