Rover Isn't Dead.... YET

Rover
So, it appears Rover's got a reprieve, with the other Chinese auto manufacturer finally securing ownership.

How this all works, I don't really understand. SAIC appear to own the rights to some of the designs, and stories are that Honda has reclaimed all it's joint technology. So exactly what of the current model range they'll be building, it's puzzling.

And earlier this month, articles in Auto Express of new models. Some pretty cool looking renditions, including a very sporty GTi version of the 45. Of course, it's probably all a ruse to get more value for the business to sell on. But, we'll have to wait and see what comes of it all in the next 6-8 months ;-)
