I'm guessing the reliability couldn't get worse, so this may be one way to keep the cost down and continue to produce sports cars.
Maybe they'll pay Toyota and Honda a visit to find out how they train Americans to build cars the right way. Lord knows American brands aren't well built.

Yea, I agree. I tend to think of history like a revolving entity that repeats itself over and over again, but with different definitions -- whether it's called communism, fascism, socialism, capitalism, the Romans, the Spartans, the Persians, the Incas, the Norwegians (vikings), etc.

Being the Swedish guy I am...
This will never pass! For example, we have a car crazy King in Sweden. He drives a 996 turbo and a 997 GT3.. If it will, then I guess The US will have a whole new line of illegal immegrants.. Porsche people from Europe

Agreed. I think the ancient system of Kings, queens, ie feudalism, has led to a kind of mindset that can spawn a socialism-based EU.
I believe to most Europeons, this allows the state to keep tightening the noose.
Just my opinion.
