...some musings:

1. it seems that whenever i read the results of a big public voted car survey, its always french cars that fill the bottom quarter - in fact they seem to be nearly as low quality as mercedes cars it appears!

2. i read this year that french labour costs in their car industry are the lowest in western-europe, an if so, could this be due to them not having their manpower costs wasted on a quality dept per factory?

3. if renault tried to move the nissan site in sunderland to poland or france, would the EU deem it illegal as its 51% french-gov owned, an so maybe viewed as a governments self-interest to boost its economy at the expense of a fellow union-member nation?

4. an how do the french-gov get away with co-funding renault with all the anti-subsidy palava we hear about in the media?

5. an why did the french overly-owned nissan company move nissans design center to england rather than to france?

6. an when i read 3 years ago that the yanks car industry is more efficient than that of europe, then how come theres been some big sackings there of late?
