Finnish production to finish

I feel for the guys and gals who will end up redundant in Finland over this. Whatever happens to the factory, it will be an end of a chapter in their lives.. Imagine if in 2013 they end up making Citroen Saxo's or something, thats got to be a downer.

At least they could afford one! [;)]
 
P are only going to make this change at a time that warrents a major re-tooling - which implies 2012 is start of production of a "988" - timing seems about right. (Or perhaps there has already been news on this anyway)
 
Spy picture of the 2012 from Johann Puch's company now called Magna Steyr or Magna International.

They may also start making Porsche tractors and toasters. Perhaps a bicycle or motorcycle. Maybe a tank or two....

At least Graz is not a mouth full like Uusikaupunki

I was talking with a Finnish colleague the other day about my car and he told me Valmet have been around for decades working as a contract manufacturer to the motor industry, they built the Calibra for Opel, loads of different Saabs and one slightly less prestige brand which I will let those interested read for themselves
