True. I'm no big fan of BMW cars, apart from their really
big machines (7 series). They make powerful motors, even
if they're all noisy. I'm more a follower of their motor
cycles, they're fantastic stuff.

To tell the truth I am getting a bit tired of this merger
thing. Seems lots of auto makers are being gobbled up by
the larger ones. Eeek! Just think how generic all cars
will eventually be? :) Competition is good for quality
and BMW is good competition (even if I'm no big fan of
them 'cos of the name they have in this country [that
came from the type of person who buys them and the manner
in which they're driven]).

Yup, Porsche should always be Porsche.

My 2 cents ... before taxes.
