Hi hrman,
I don't think the reviews of the CityRover were based on any preconceptions of Indian industrial ability. The negative reaction to the car in the UK came from the fact that:
a) The Rover Brand was perceived as being a failing brand grappling at any opportunity ( they even produced a supercar!!! )
b) The buying public and motoring press knew weren't convinced that a car launched in India in 1998 was a 'new ' car in the UK 5 years later in 2003.
Thanks,
Mac
OH AND THAT ARTICLE FROM BLOOMBERG IS ATROCIOUS!
