    In actuallity, if VAG buys out BMW, they will have the largest selection
of different vehicle classess ever offered in the world.  Unfortunately VAG
dropped out of the bidding for BMW leaving only F**d and GM in the bidding.
Another great European Automaker in the hands of sloppy American
workmanship.  Fortunately, VAG may be in the proccess of working out a deal
with BMW for Cooperative engineering to compensate for their devastating
purchase of RR (former counterpart Bentley went to VW).  SOOO... technically
VAG sells a car for every section of the market in every part of the world
that is also very competitive with every car made by every other
manufacturer.
