@SynthOno: true...

@87CE 95PV Type Я: it always stood out sore between all of the states in the US, 7 years i lived west of the pond, & never once through it i felt welcomed in alabama (visited once, & passed by the other time)... seriously makes me wonder about the true meaning of "sweet home alabama" (great song though!)

"Those people chose BEER over Jesus-Christ; they are NOT my brothers, they are not my sisters!"

i like to think that the "compass" era was the downside before a new golden era, that precedes the great downfall much later on!

@SoaringDisbelief: many thanks... didn't know that went & applied on all the german car makers & racers!

@cesariojpn: checkered flags & tan lines... if only real! *sigh*

i mean seriously... after billions in losses; Daimler is still pumping out Smarts (not to mention new concepts)... don't they get it that the "it" factor died long ago with the 2nd gen of this brand... when will it end production for good?!
