"the Opel Mokka production will be moved from South Korea to Europe, once
the new generation of the crossover will be available for launch."

Nice find, at a guess Mokka V2 would likely be 5 or 6 years away.

If the reported North Korean threats materialise , the current mokka may be produced in Europe 'cause the factories in Korea could be reduced to rubble Edited by: nikkko

I wonder if they will build it in Europe with the new engine? Vauxhall are replacing the 1.7 diesel with a new more efficient 1.6 model.

these engines will be manufactured in Hungary

Likely the only have a few warheads, assuming they can detonate them correctly they still won't cause the same damage as in WW2. You would imagine they would go for the capital rather than a coastal port. I Would also expect the Americans will be able to shoot it down before any damage can occur. Edited by: tetchmeister

What's a little collateral damage between warring half countries, its only one little car plant.... Imagine the updates to the build list!!!!

More chance of the car plant being hit by the Americans ! Worse case scenario won't need to worry about DRL and AFL issues as they won't be needed with the new Uranium White finish . Edited by: Number Six

They've just closed a factory in Southampton. They could use the space for the new mokka, but can't really see that happening.

I wonder if an irradiated surface treatment will help against bird lime? Fatman?

Being from the Doc Brown school of science, I would guess that lime would probably vaporise or mutate .

On the N.Korea V S.Korea arguement.
N.Korea have effectively done all bar re-declare war on south korea, and have also said they effectively want to batter the yanks.

What better way than to reduce the American owned industry in south korea to rubble......

I could see it happening, dosent need to be nuclear, conventional bombs cause a fair old bit of boom

 

[tetchmeister]

it won't happen, the Chinese have too much to lose, and the Americans are happy to protect the South along with their own SK army.
