Talk:SAIC Roewe
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] pronunciation
In German it would sound a lot like "Rover" —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 125.239.42.209 (talk) 21:06, 13 March 2007 (UTC).
- If the chinese pronunciation is really what pinyin "Rongwei" suggests, it would be very close to "wrong way", did anyone think of that? --84.115.129.76 (talk) 11:35, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] 2006
"Roewe will be publicly launched at the November Motor Show in Beijing in 2006" - this needs updated. NotMuchToSay 20:49, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] United States
Americans would probably pronounce it Ro-və. 67.188.172.165 22:29, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] We might see a trademark dispute between SAIC and the Ford Motor Company over the Rover brand (Roewe sounds very similar to Rover) in the not too distant future
There has been a little bit of speculation on some message boards about what might happen if SAIC ever makes an attempt to import Roewe into the United States. I had originally added some things about it to the article. Maybe it was a mistake to put it there. it has since been removed from the article. I thought maybe it would be better to put it here in the discussion page so that people can comment on it and any other possibilities that might come about. At this time Ford has not made any final decisions about selling Jaguar/Rover/Land rover yet but if Ford does go ahead and sell some or all of these assets, Ford and potential buyers will need to take into consideration that who ever owns Rover might have some problems with SIAC if and when they export Roewe vehicles to certain countries. The only way this problem can be eliminated is if Ford sells Rover and Rover related assets to SAIC or if Ford and SAIC both agree to sell their Roewe and Rover related assets to a third company which would own both trademarks. Ford could also try to purchase Roewe from SAIC and/or enter into a joint venture/partnership with SAIC. These are some of the ways that this potential dilemma can be solved.
This is what was originally posted to the Roewe article before it was removed--------------
The use of the Roewe name is due to SAIC's inability to buy the rights to the Rover name from BMW due to Ford Motor Company exercising their option on the name. The Roewe name and badge were meant to be similar to the Rover name and badge because of this. And for this reason SAIC might have big problems if and when it attempts to import Roewe into the United States as Ford might launch a lawsuit against SAIC complaining that Roewe sounds too similar to Rover (a Ford brand) and that customers might confuse Roewe with Rover. General Motors did the same with Chery as it was planning to export Chery vehicles to the United States. General motors complained that Chery would be confused with Chevy.

[edit] K Series Engine
The K-Series Engine is a petrol engine, Rover had an L-Series Diesel engine. I think the powered section needs changing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.103.121.220 (talk) 16:00, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Roewe 250 (error)
"The current 2007 model line-up from Roewe consists of * Roewe 250"
"There hasn't been any Roewe 250 released recently, even not a plan."
That are confusing me now. Is Roewe 250 available or not!? --Love Krittaya (talk) 13:39, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
The article Roewe 250 said that is only a name now, it may be a future automobile -- remove it in the line-up. --Love Krittaya (talk) 13:43, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
