Aren't idiots? They bought Rover, didn't they? <smile> And they aren't
doing _that_ well... they are not a huge manufacturer, in global terms,
and they were hemorrhaging money through Rover. That's why they sold
it--not to make money on the deal--but to stop a flow of money out of
the company that would have broken them in another couple of years.

Certainly, most of us would find that possibility very interesting. It
just doesn't seem very likely, based on the evidence. If it does, it
would very likely be a rebadge, rather than a new product with a new
character, and I don't think a rebadge would greatly appeal to many.
Cheers.
