Who makes your car? Ep 251

Think you know who owns the company that built your car? And you have no doubts where it was produced, right? Well, it might be time to think again because the worldwide web of car brand ownership and vehicle manufacturing has become even more tangled in recent years. Join Chesto, Matt, and JC as they uncover some surprising facts about who owns what, and what's built where. How about a British icon owned by an Indian powerhouse, or a luxury Merc screwed together in Alabama? Plus, we cover 'This Week in News' - the breaking stories you need to know about (Toyota's diesel hybrid, a potential EV battery breakthrough, and 'chilling out' about Chinese cars). Plus, we give you a rundown on the fresh metal we've been driving this week, in 'Cars in the Garage' (Chesto's been plugging in an MG, Matt's living with a Rex, and JC's been gliding around in a Genesis).
