He was, remember the Beer Hall Putsch. Anyway I up the ante:

So did the Resistance. But it's quite amusing that the Gestapo had to use a car made by a company founded by a Jew to keep up with the Resistance...

Used by the Resistance and Gestapo alike. Sleek, fast and reliable for the time.

They liked even more to kill industrialists in their 7er Series with IEDs and metal plates.

The logical conclusion to his career: he became famous making BMWs look like Hyundais with pig snouts.

That's my surprise exactly. In Spain it's a perfectly plain-Jane car, so I didn't expect any more than 50 points.

The air flow meter in VW TDI engines.

And you haven't. This is a Seafire, not a Spitfire.

Nothing modern says "evil" better than a black Alfa 159. It's the Famke Janssen of cars.

True. If you sympathise with the French Resistance, the Gestapo and the Carlingue used them.

The Dacia Wolverine.

Anyway my point still stands: this car's strong points would go down the drain with yet another cancer generator... i mean Diesel.

We'll see how the Transit Connect fares outside big cities. I don't think they'll make a dent in the F150's and similar competitors' sales.

Yes, very. Look at the pic.

Petit-bourgeois then.

Well, that "BMW" engine is in fact... French. It's shared with Peugeot and Citroën.

Really? Or is it just that you want all the girls in your neighbourhood to look like Ukrainian ladies?

Perfect. This car's strong point is the smoothness of its 6-cylinder engine. Send that to Hell and put a crappy oil burner instead and you have a resounding flop: to buy an Asian Diesel we have Daew-I mean Chevy, Kiundai or Toyota.

A monocoque FWD Ram?

That's what they said about Germany at the beginning of the 18th century... or about the 13 Colonies, for that matter.
