We'll have to agree to disagree on that.

American Honda is a separate conglomerate from it's Japanese cousin
. They have a design facility here and completely manufacture the American Hondas here and not just building cars from CKD units like Innoson is doing.

I'm exiting stage left here.

you are an I too Know. I also live in Yankee, and what you just said is pure bull. Remember when Toyota Camry's had an acceleration problem, the United States Congress subpoenaed the CEO of Toyota Motor Company from Japan to answer for the acceleration malfunctions in the Toyota Camry. Which kind of separate conglomerate are you talking about? Honda America is a subsidiary of (and owned by) Honda Motor Company in Japan. see the wiki link below:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Honda_Motor_Company

It is people like you who are olodos and  fail multiple choice exams simply because you over-think and over-analyze the question and answers. Honda, Toyota, Infiniti, and blah blah blah are Japanese brands. Regardless of the location of their design facility, their technology and country of origin is still Japanese.

Same thing with Mercedes, BMW, Audi, and blah blah blah. They are all German cars.

According to you, Peugeot is a Nigerian car, not a French car, because it is being assembled in Nigeria.

According to you, any country in which an assembly or design plant is built assumes claim to ownership of the car. Seriously?

Give us a break with this your jagbajantis, I too know attitude. Abeg. Or do you think we do not that some car companies have design or assembly facilities in other countries?

Pls, for the over ITKs, Peugeot products produced in Nigeria are made in Nigeria. No doubt about that. But they are French technology, not Nigerians. They were/are designed for Nigerian road use( Nigerian spec). They might differ in specifications, shapes,etc. from ones produced in France & other Euro countries, but they still remain French cars. The Peugeot plant here in Nigeria is more of a branch of Peugeot France. Consider Peugeot France as the Headquaters. The same thing is applicable to Toyota, Honda & other Japanese vehicles that have their plants in North America & various countries of Europe. They are all branches of the companies in Asia. The branches might partner with the host government, just like Peugeot partnered with Nigerian Government, hence PAN. But they still remain & owned by their companies, in their countries of origin. Globalcom has started operation in Ghana. Does that then mean that Globalcom in Ghana is not owned by Adenuga or a branch of Glo Nigeria? Likewise MTN that originated from South Africa. Maybe, you want to tell me now that MTN is a Nigerian company, owned by Nigerians.

To reply to what the thread is all about, below is the info of my car:

Country of production: France.
Brand, product & model: Peugeot, 505 V6 5-speed Manual, 1987 model.
Origin of the Brand: France.
