Wow, I worked for a car glass OEM supply company and remember some brand new cars went to Arizona and the heat was enough to delaminate the vinyl in the windshield from the glass: made big bubbles all around the black border.
Mind-you they measured the heat in the car to be some 55 odd degrees C (131 F).
Melting off the side of a car is a whole different matter.

Glad I don't have one of them.
Out in Saudi, where I work, it regularly gets to 50+c (122f), I've measured temps of 67c (153f) inside my car if I left it parked in the sun

We make lots,
but mostly for foreign owned brands like Nisan, Ford, Landrover, etc
I suspect the problem there was actually where the car was parked, There was probably a large reflective surface somewhere nearby that was acting to focus the sun on that parking spot,
somewhat like this

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

Jaguar, Land Rover, Bentley, MINI, Aston Martin, Morgan, Caterham, Arial, Lotus, McLaren, Vaxhall and many more smaller companies.
Major manufacturers cars built in the UK:
Nissan Leaf, Micra, Juke. Ford Fiesta. Toyota Auris and Avensis.
Other automotive stuff in the UK:
JCB, 80% of F1 cars, Triumph motorbikes, something like 75% of all Motorsport R&D takes place in the UK.
Dispite what people say, the UK has a very healthy motor industry.

You guys like the expensive cars.
yes, agreed with Kronk on the Fiesta. I'd say the same on the Focus. Rented a new one whilst mine repaired (current model series). The transmission was the crappiest automatic I've ever been in. I felt...unsafe with the weird lag times and sudden revs. I'll never get a Ford if thats the standard.

At least on my own computer, I don't know if it's a universal Windows thing, but, in order for me to use an Alt code, I have to use Left Alt, and the number pad. It won't work with right Alt (honestly, why the hell is right alt even there?)
