In German it would sound a lot like "Rover" —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 125.239.42.209 ( talk) 21:06, 13 March 2007 (UTC).
"Roewe will be publicly launched at the November Motor Show in Beijing in 2006" - this needs updated. NotMuchToSay 20:49, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

There has been a little bit of speculation on some message boards about what might happen if SAIC ever makes an attempt to import Roewe into the United States. I had originally added some things about it to the article. Maybe it was a mistake to put it there. it has since been removed from the article. I thought maybe it would be better to put it here in the discussion page so that people can comment on it and any other possibilities that might come about. At this time Ford has not made any final decisions about selling Jaguar/Rover/Land rover yet but if Ford does go ahead and sell some or all of these assets, Ford and potential buyers will need to take into consideration that who ever owns Rover might have some problems with SIAC if and when they export Roewe vehicles to certain countries. The only way this problem can be eliminated is if Ford sells Rover and Rover related assets to SAIC or if Ford and SAIC both agree to sell their Roewe and Rover related assets to a third company which would own both trademarks. Ford could also try to purchase Roewe from SAIC and/or enter into a joint venture/partnership with SAIC. These are some of the ways that this potential dilemma can be solved.
The use of the Roewe name is due to SAIC's inability to buy the rights to the Rover name from BMW due to Ford Motor Company exercising their option on the name. The Roewe name and badge were meant to be similar to the Rover name and badge because of this. And for this reason SAIC might have big problems if and when it attempts to import Roewe into the United States as Ford might launch a lawsuit against SAIC complaining that Roewe sounds too similar to Rover (a Ford brand) and that customers might confuse Roewe with Rover. General Motors did the same with Chery as it was planning to export Chery vehicles to the United States. General motors complained that Chery would be confused with Chevy.

The K-Series Engine is a petrol engine, Rover had an L-Series Diesel engine. I think the powered section needs changing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.103.121.220 ( talk) 16:00, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
"The current 2007 model line-up from Roewe consists of * Roewe 250"
"There hasn't been any Roewe 250 released recently, even not a plan."
That are confusing me now. Is Roewe 250 available or not!? -- Love Krittaya ( talk) 13:39, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
The article Roewe 250 said that is only a name now, it may be a future automobile -- remove it in the line-up. -- Love Krittaya ( talk) 13:43, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
Hi Guys,
Just thought I'd clear things up, the rear axle isn't actually a development of the BMW Z-axle, nor is it a direct descendent of it - It was a full rover design which took elemental ideas from the original construction. BMW had nothing to do with it other than to fund it. 77.100.14.241 ( talk) 05:05, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
The badge is similar to the old but it is not correct this was to save retooling cost. To think we buy a whole car factory, ship across the world and then rebuild it but we save a little money to make new badges? This is very silly. The sameness of the badge is so there is a link with history. Thank you - Kitty Lee. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 222.68.248.91 ( talk) 12:32, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
I thought it was so we could pop out the badge and fit a rover one instead.
When will Roewe be coming to the United States? 169.233.59.10 ( talk) 05:18, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
Shouldn't this page be moved to Roewe, per common name? The article also primarily concerns Roewe as a marque rather than as a subsidiary of SAIC. Rangoon11 ( talk) 18:40, 16 April 2011 (UTC)
I agree. Fleetham ( talk) 21:16, 16 April 2011 (UTC)
In fact I think the company infobox probably should be removed; I don't think Roewe is a subsidiary only a marque. Fleetham ( talk) 00:14, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
I agree, move to Roewe, but keep the infobox. -- Pineapple Fez 22:07, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
Much valuable material was lost in Fleetham's latest series of deletions (for instance, why delete by how much the 750 was stretched? Why delete the AROnline reference?). Also confusions and outright misrepresentations have crept in, such as linking to MG Metro when the Metro as an entirety was clearly being referred to. Please take other editors into consideration, and discuss before deleting things in an arbitrary fashion. ⊂| Mr.choppers |⊃ ( talk) 16:55, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
I believe ARonline.co.uk site fails WP:BLOGS. There's a sizable number of citations using that site on this page. A Google search for "Austin Rover Online" says aronline.co.uk is, "The UNOFFICIAL Austin-Rover Web Resource, THE place for all BMC, BL and MG Rover enthusiasts." The page looks self-published, says "Copyright © 2001-2011 Keith Adams", and while it appears to be provide a wealth of information, I don't believe it meets the criteria for use as a source. Fleetham ( talk) 19:33, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
Irrespective of where the debate takes place, it is clear that there is no support to stop using ARonline, so why not leave it in and move on with some productive editing? Warren ( talk) 12:06, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
The lead says the name is derived from the German for "lion" and the pronunciation of "rover". There's no reason to believe that the name is from the German for lion. The Chinese characters used in the name are "honor" and "prestige", and it is a transliteration of "rover". I don't believe the German bit is true. Fleetham ( talk) 19:47, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
