RIP dead car brands
Daihatsu

Where have all the Daihatsus gone? Well the Japanese brand hasn't imported a single new car into the UK since 2009, because the strength of the yen has made it utterly uneconomical. Now, with Europe-wide sales of less than 20,000 cars per year, Daihatsu says it's withdrawing from all European markets by 2013. Daihatsu still lives on in Japan but you and I will never be able to buy another Charade, Sirion or Terios. But then we never did, did we?

ive got to say its a real shame about saab.but they had an era where they were amazing.last august i bought a 1999 v reg saab 95 estate 2litre turbo for 800 quid.i got a lot of car for that figure.heated electric seats, dual climate,air con.a truly stunning sound system.all round luxury and comfort.this is my fourth saab.i cant fault them.what else do you get for 800 quid?a mondeo?a peugeot 206?my advice to anyone wanting to buy a car below a grand,always chose saab if you cant afford bmw etc.

Jaguar and landrover were sold to Tata for a song and instead of the uk government buying them and restaking our claim in the industry they instead write off the loan made to India totalling more than 3 times more than jaguar and landrover could have been bought for,the lunatics running the aslymn springs to mind add in the fact that Gordan Brown gave all our gold away,it was a really good time for us to blow millions.China tried to buy saab but it seems clear GM did,nt want to sell and yet GM went for a hand out by the american government,beggers belief really.

Ok,for the benefit of george paley,between 1999 and 2002 gordon brown whilst chancellor took the decition to sell off half our gold reserves 395 ton whilst gold was at a all time low for 20 yrs and despite a impending economy slow down and ultimate recession,he did this against the advise of the bank of england but with support of ed balls,ed milliband and baroness vadera who were his close advisors at the time.The gold was sold in 17 auctions over three yrs for between 256 and 296 dollars,the price of gold today is around 1200 dollars,so i think i,m justified in saying he gave it away,he has cost us more than 10 billion about £600 each.
