with the Laguna (also co-owned by Renault), and I believe Daihatsu were forced by their new owners to stop selling the Four-Track even though it was Daihatsu's most popular model?? Interests: Generally like cars of interest - those which are rare on the roads today My Subaru: Black Legacy B4 RSK Posted 02 November 2012 - 05:18 PM That's something very interesting that you have brought up there, Dave. Notice how a small bit manufacturer like Daihatsu have disappeared. Big news - another manufacturer (or importer) has departed these shores. Read all about it etc etc Knowingly or unknowingly, you have mentioned a model that no longer exists either but you'd need to look hard to find this. Were any of you aware that Renault have carved about a third of the models they produce out of UK sales ? Yeap - 4/5 models that you could have bought new in the showroom in one year ago no longer exist in the UK. I believe it is hard for all car manufacturer right now in the uk, with alot of people defaulting financially recently and getting lower credit scores due to having everything always on credit then getting hit with the slump here, thus struggling to pay, they now cant get new credit thus not moving on and getting their 62 plate etc hitting cars bad as that was one of the main thing bought on credit years ago Ive read this about 4 times now on different subaru forums
