Thanks John.  This is fairly big news here at present (if you give a
rat's... about the British motor industry that is).  Apparently some
bits are made in Germany and the purists protest at this dilution of
the marque.  I am sorry that we, the Brits, have lost some of our
heritage, but our lack of vision on the corporate front, combined
with seriously bad industrial relations in the 70s and 80s, has meant
that we have ourselves alone to blame.

It seems to be big, but at £250,000 sterling, no-one seems to care
much about the fuel consumption ;-).
