You might just like to know that Nissan stated that the Nissans built  
in UK are of a higher quality than those from the Japanese plants.

Nissan, Honda and Toyota maybe Japanese owned, but they are still  
built here in UK. Not a lot different from the Vauxhalls (GM) and  
Fords we have been building here since the 20s.

Peugeot design many of their cars here in UK as do others.

I think you are talking about 30-40 years ago
