Yeah.
Buy an import.
Be a water boy.

Ah the entire aspirations of a continent tossed on the bonfire rubbish heap of rampant consumerism.
If it weren't for the stench, I'd grab the marshmallows right now.

Interesting article. I like that he doesn't bash any one side, but has a reasonable grasp (if not new ideas) on the industry and its problems.

Jaguar a once prized nameplate was as British as British can get, then Ford takes over, and ironically (for some) their reliability went up. Then Ford sells Jag to the Indians. Really? India owns Jaguar......crazy times.
