Annother reason for starting a nitpickung-discussion: made in Finland |
|

OMG, and I was joking about Finland in another thread... |

Will be hard to say that a Porsche is a Finnish car rather than a German one  (no matter where it was actually built) -- Last edit: 2007-11-01 12:24:07 |

What is more "German" than "Finnish" about a Porsche? Anyway, see forums. |

Designed in Germany, by German engineers etc. by Porsche which is an independent German company. -- Last edit: 2007-11-01 12:26:17 |

How do you know they are German? Saabs head designer is Cantonese, IIRC. And most of the car could've been designed by subcontractors wherever. |

Yes, your other posting with Finland made me think about it. Anyone interested in an nerdic smart-aleck-excess? Yes? Then let us check the Volvo's and Saab's in this forum, if they perhaps could be Finnish made. |

How about Talbot Horizons? |
|
◊ 2007-11-01 12:39 |
Which Horizon? For a short time the Sunbeam Horizon was sold (at least in Germany) as a Horizon with Talbot-logo, too, even it was a different car than the Simca Horizon. Or do you mean the Plymouth Horizon for teh US-market? |
|

The Simca/Talbot Horizon was assembled by Valmet for some time. |

The old SAAB 900 Convertible was assembled in Finland... |
|
◊ 2007-11-01 16:36 |
Did these Valmet-made cars had any details, which seperate them from the original versions? |
|
◊ 2010-08-13 14:54 |
thats because the old SAAB 900 is scandinavian |

1997-2002. It was only partly made in finnland, it can only be told by the VIN (a U for Uusikaupunki (Finnland) a S for Stuttgart (Germany)) |
