Most truly interesting vehicles these days are coming from small outfits...'twas ever thus!
A) Where is your Tatra now? Those other "flawed" carmakers survived.
B) How can you blame unions for management decisions? Is your money where your mouth is? Do you drive a non-union built car?
C) After the last Depression we had a World War. No thanks.
