Hi Volks:


CNBC just reported that VW has submitted an offer to purchase
Rolls-Royce. The offer was in the vicinity of $660MM. Well, it looks like
the People's Car is going to get EVEN MORE expensive, specialized, and
complicated! The report opened by saying that VW has been wanting to
enter the luxury auto market for some time now.


Yeah, well what do you think would be more profitable: selling a few
Silver Cloud versions of the new Passat or loading up North America with
a bunch of EV Syncro Campers?!


I THROW MY ARMS UP IN FRUSTRATION!


(sorry for the sour tone)
