Obviously, you didn't follow the long and drawn out saga starting back when GM first unloaded 'em. The Swedish Gov't as well as well as a bunch of loans and incentives from the EU went into the deal. They followed the Briitsh model which leads to immediate failure rather than the Fiat Motors model or Goverment Motors.


Finally some cold weather. Will I see ya at Roundtop soon?
