[DeTomaso] New Detomasos to be built in China

[Pantdino]

I don't think they were actually working.
Probably on unemployment until the new factory opened, but now it never will so all hope is lost for them.

So what was the current workforce producing?  Just curious.

to China would be a huge mistake. I can understand buying the DeTomaso name for
a million dollars, euros, whatever. To a certain extent, it is somewhat
philosophical whose capital is behind a well-known name. As Julian (I think)
said, Jaguar is owned by Indians,  and while they may call the shots the cars
are built in the same factories as before and are infused with English culture.
Therefore they maintain much of the value of the name.

Not sure how many customers they can lure away from Corvette, Ferrari,
Lamborghini, etc to buy an all-Chinese car instead. It will have to be very,
very, very good to overcome that stigma and partially defeats the benefit gained
from buying an Italian name.
