Does this make anyone else think Franco-American Motors?  A euro-trash carmaker wants into the US market so they bet ahold of a struggling US company to access their factory and dealer network.  I tell ya its the Jeep curse at work!  Willys(dead)Kaiser(dead)AMC(dead)Chrysler(on life support)
Hummmmmm   make me a Simca while your at it.....
