A co-worker of my wife is in the BMW Car Club of America. He loaned us some of
the recent issues of the club publication "The Roundel". In one of the issues
was a quote from the BMW exec appointed to head up Rover Group (name escapes
me). He was quoted as saying that BMW had no intention of reviving any more of
the old marques. He said that the MGF and the new Rover sedan were quite enough
work for now. But then again "doth he protest too much?"
Inquiring minds want to know.
