Read about the plans for an upcoming Rover to be built on the Golf
platform? Read about the headaches Rover's giving BMW with the constant
losses? Read about the quality control problems with the Rover 75 that are
preventing release to the general public? My guess would be that BMW is in
danger of being usurped by one of the biggies and that Rover may disappear
altogether. In view of recent acquisitions, I'd say either VW or Mercedes
would eat BMW.

Still, I'm no corporate analyst, YMMV etc.
