Facts are unclear about SAIC's intentions to export its new version of the Rover 75, back to the UK and Europe. The Chinese government is pushing manufacturers to export Chinese developed cars but how will SAIC respond?

I'm not so sure

Thanks for the reply Windy,

The press statement seems to imply that the R75 will hit our shores ahead of 'other' models in 2008. So, by now there would be evidence of an engineering programme for the Euro model derivative. I also think that SAIC will have enough on its hands dealing with he growth in the Chinese market.

I'd like to see the R75 back here. It would be a big hit but I'm not so sure its coming.

This is a fact?

Do you think there might be a collaboration of some sort between Nanjing and SAIC - maybe Nanjing would be sub contracted by SAIC to assemble its Rover 75 alongside Nanjings MG ZT, at Longbridge!
