Industrial-strength theater

Yesterday evening, while yours truly was in seedy Tokyo bars, rubbing shoulders and more with paid informants, word reached us that Opel’s new sales chief Alfred Rieck allegedly threw-in the towel and left Opel in disgust, after only seven months of valiantly trying to move the damaged goods called Opel cars. After a few phone calls to Germany this morning, a different story emerged. Siehe unten.

Lorenzo How Sad. This wagon had at least another 100K miles left on her. It's like having your body donated to science at age 60 - while you're still alive!
Tassos no matter how much you (very foolishly!) pay for this serial loser, you will lose EVERY CENT OF IT when it goes broke. Just like GM's shareholders in 2008.
Kwik_Shift_Pro4X And the next version in 6 months will be even more hotter. 🙄
Cprescott While this seems like good news, IIHS is a complete racket that arbitarily changes standards at a whim based on specious evidence. Once cars meet these standards, IIHS changes them so that most will fail so they get publicity. This is how they work. And I'm not even going into the fact that they are funded by the insurance companies....
Cprescott Good old days of Volvo. Can't say tht about their current garbage.
