I used to spend a lot of time in the middle of nowhere, and while the occasional murder on the AT was always in the back of my mind, I was definitely more concerned about bear or a big cat.

If it doesn’t depreciate by 40% in the first three years, and replacement parts don’t cost three times the price of normal parts, then it’s not a luxury car.
The proposed combination would create the world’s worst global automaker, preeminent in terms of recalls, production variation, problems and lemons, benefitting the companies’ executives at the expense of customers. The combined business would sell approximately 8.7 million pieces of crap annually, would be a world…
