Car industry is in serious growing pains, with 10 years I bet European Fords are just a badge engineering excersize. VW building the saloons and PSA building the rest. If they arent killed by the Koreans at any rate.

Could well be, the European car industry will have less players in future than it will today. Might remain in name or as a badge exercise but they won't be there in reality. Koreans are killing them.

The Korean companies are still minnows compered to the Germans , Japanese and Chinese manufactures.
Except for the fact that Hyundai are Korean and are the third biggest vehicle maker in the world

So long as Kim doesn’t invade S Korea, their car industry is set to give the other global players a bit of a bash in the next few years

At the value end of the market how do you compete with the Koreans who are offering a 7 year/100,000 mile warranty? Why buy a Pug, Ford or VW over that?
