I disagree with the above statement. When you're in the business of building and selling cars, your rate of growth and profit is directly related to your cars! If you're not bringing desirable vehicles to the marketplace, your going to have a difficult time growing and making profits. Profit follows a product's sales success, not the other way around. |
How does this explain Toyota? Or Hyundai? Neither have built an entertaining car in ages or ever, yet they're certainly not looking for handouts.
The dumbing down of BMW has led to mo' money and won't stop for the few of us remaining enthusiasts' tears. Thankfully plenty of other brands seem to be picking up where BMW, EPS, RFT and the bizarre lack of LSD all intersect.
