- Layoffs - The Definitive Job Loss League Table (Updated) (11/05/2008)
Bank of America - Ford F150 (Very popular in the US, but completely unsuitable for the European market)
Barclays Capital - Jaguar XF (Looks ordinary, but goes likes the blazes. British class)
Calyon - Citreon 2CV (Sluggish performance. Mostly owned by French farmers).
Citi - Lincoln Blackwood (A big inflexible vehicle, which suffered through lack of options and versatility)
Credit Suisse - Peugeot 207 (Europe's best-selling car in 2007)
Deutsche Bank - Mercedes Benz (A Germanic work of art)
Dresdner Bank - Seat ((Marginal car maker with a relatively strong domestic business, but little recognised outside its home market)
Dresdner Kleinwort - Mercede-Benz S 500 (1987 model) (Ouch!)
Goldman Sachs - Cadillac (What else ?)
HSBC - Vauxhall Astra (Has almost no redeeming features, and no-one ever admits that they actually like it. But successful nevertheless)
HSBC - Morris Oxford (Old low tech British metal still popular in emerging markets)
Jefferies & Co - Ford Mustang (Hip, cool, and a great little runner)
JPMorgan - Jaguar (A once-proud name, bought by mismanaging Midwesterners. And soon to be run entirely from India)
KBC Group - Volvo Estate - the big square one (Safe, reliable, dull. Run by old men in hats)
Landsbanki Securities - TVR (Was pleasant, small, traditional and British. Now owned by Russian money)
Merrill Lynch - Black Lamborghini Gallardo (Lots of power, but with 15 burger-eating rednecks sitting on the hood, it's difficult to corner or brake)
Morgan Stanley - Porsche 911 Turbo (Constantly in motion, with no upwardly limits)
NM Rothschild & Co - Rolls Royce (True blue)
Northern Rock - A Rover 75 (Wanted to be a Jaguar S Type, but doesn't have the funding)
UBS - Ford Edsel (One of the biggest sales disasters of all-time)
WestLB - any kit car (No explanation required)
