Rover has expanded its range with the launch of the 600 Series, a compact executive saloon based on the Honda Accord.
Vauxhall has replaced the decade-old Nova with the completely new Corsa.
Following the insolvency of DAF NV (see the Netherlands section), Leyland DAF went into receivership.

Famous quotes containing the words united and/or kingdom:
“It was evident that, both on account of the feudal system and the aristocratic government, a private man was not worth so much in Canada as in the United States; and, if your wealth in any measure consists in manliness, in originality and independence, you had better stay here. How could a peaceable, freethinking man live neighbor to the Forty-ninth Regiment? A New-Englander would naturally be a bad citizen, probably a rebel, there,—certainly if he were already a rebel at home.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.”
—Bible: New Testament, Matthew 18:3.
