Some even have water bridges. (Germany)

I think the nature of much of the umbrella of Volkswagen groups cars present in Europe and just the overwhelming size of segments they hit might make one especially in North America blind about VW groups size and even ability to turn profits midst the diesel scandal. Managing earnings of 7 billion even with 7 billion…

Wow, that’s a huge bummer for me. Since DA Origins this has always been my primary way of combat on Bioware games. Put the difficulty as high as possible and make it a light strategy game.

Russia is in a different galaxy compared to any other country with their polar capable fleet. Out of the 10 icebreakers in Finnish fleet, 4 are rented for polar use. Lately to keep northwest passage open as well as spent part of their summer time in Canada. At times also rented by oil companies.

Building of ice breakers is extremely centralized to specialized shipyards. 60% of all ice breakers in use at the moment were built in Finland Arctech shipyard to give an example.

I’m not arguing RT doesn’t have hard agenda on them. It’s quite obvious they have.

Did Phaeton really fail? Early 2000 was when VW Group had their big push on Skoda and Audi, while slotting VW into this weird slight above mid tier bracket. It all somehow actually worked and now you have Skoda selling 1.1 million cars a year in Europe, VW selling great with slight premium and Audi took the market…

I’ve yet to see anything here that says people like him? He has a long history in gaming and has always had good reputation as a good boss.

Oslo is a great city, but I like Helsinki way more. In the summer Helsinki wins over Stockholm for me but in the winter when both cities go into hibernation Stockholm wins thanks to its larger mass and there being more to do.

Renault is the majority owner of Nissan and they seemingly see F1 as a good platform to promote the brand globally. The brand is still mainly known only in US.

It’s a Finnish-Swede/finlandssvenska/suomenruotsalainen. We are a 5% Finnish minority that mostly lives in west coast of Finland. Finns that use the second official language, Swedish, as our primary language and have our small quirks.

I adore this look. Thumb nose is a bit downer, but at no point was any of the rule changes made going to remove heavy aero designs on the front wing. Got no problems with that look personally, if anything I like it. Liking that heavy sculpting of side pods as well.

I’m not sure how that is quite true concerning the wealth of brands, the concentration of revenue and profit that is globally largest on European car manufacturers. You don’t get there by having none competitive home market.

By all accounts they are not bad cars. I actually have hard time putting my finger on how exactly Opel has missed all the segments.

You are preaching to the choir here! Going Malaysia GP this year to mainly see Räikkönen on his likely last F1 season.

I don’t know what to say if those bikes are meant to be the epitome of beautiful. Honestly look pretty hideous.

All in all Kimi really seems to like working in Ferrari and he was the most paid driver for years. He is somewhere in the top 5 most paid F1 drivers ever. Net worth being somewhere between 150 to 240 million, depending on the list.

And the team was led by 4 time World Rally champion Tommi Mäkinen.

Like Magnox said, if you do ever come here do it in summer. The 21 hours of daylight and the water surrounded, green Helsinki peninsula is much more pleasant experience than the wintry Helsinki.

It’s definitely Renault-Nissan, not Nissan-Renault. Renault is the majority owner of Nissan at 40% with all those shares having voting rights. Nissan has 15% stake in Renault but it has no voting rights, as their stake carries no voting power.
