Im not a believer in badge snobbery - I always buy a car becuase I like it and want to DRIVE it!

I used to have a MG with a 2.5 V6 under the bonnet - One of the best cars I have ever owned. And I'm sure lots of people have an opinion of MG Rover. (Used to do a lot of joint research work with Honda over the years)

On the other hand you could say that the BMW 1 series uses the chassis from a Rover 25 or that Volvo uses the same engines in it's T5 and the ST.

I remember years ago a mate of mine had an Aston Martin and he was gutted that the car had the same switches they used in standard Fords.

If you are happy with your car and like driving it then I say "Good". If other people don't like your brand of car then that is their problem. They must be small minded!!!!!!!
