Japan
Slight slip today where dealer commented that the Japan situation may affect production of existing cars and possibly the Evoque !? Let's hope not.

RE: Japan
Already Honda and Nissan in this country have gone to reduced production. This is where concentrating parts production in one place really shows it's shortcomings - 40 years ago we had a huge car components industry that could probably have taken up the slack but now these Japanese companies use sub-contractors in Japan and ship parts around the world cheaper...................

I wonder what parts are sourced from Japan?
