INteresting observation in this NY Times article
IN this maserati quattroporte review:
http://www.nytimes.com/2005/10/02/au...es/02AUTO.html
The author states:
"In these homogenous automotive times, the ethnic motorcar has become seriously blurred. For German precision and reliability, we buy Japanese; for Japanese thrift at the cost of style, we buy from Detroit; and for Detroit pizazz and over-the-top performance, we go to the Germans. "
Very true, eh? The Germans really are starting to seem like Detroit in its heyday-- big cars, big engines, outrageous styling, poor reliability. What happened to Detroit again?

What happened to Detroit again? | Perhaps that article was written with an eye on the BMW USA price lists, and not on the rest of BMW's output. If a large percentage of Detroit's output was of smaller, more economical cars featuring greater emphasis on efficiency and covering a much wider spectrum of the market, as BMW's is, I am sure it wouldn't be in the state it is today.
