We had this old '75 diesel Merc that was a beast of a machine. That was a hunk of metal that was indestructable, that is, unitl my sister got a hold of it. She totaled it, but took out 3 other cars with her, and really, the only reason it was totalled was b/c it would be too much to fix it back up for what it was. That was a good car.
Did you know that only %15 percent of the Mazda 6's came with a six cylinder engine. On top of that, only %5 came with a six speed transmission. That was definately a very good marketing strategy. ![[thumb]](/images/smilies/icon_smile_thumb.gif "Thumbs Up [thumb]")
We can't forget Volvo when it comes to safety. They have had some of the highest government crash test rating for at least five years.

5mph? What the hell is the point of a 5mph crash test? A person in a wheelchair can survive a 5mph crash test. That's amazing I bet they spend millions to test cars at 5mph.
What's next shopping-cart collision safety? You know, the government estimates that the average human is worth $260,000. This means that it's cheaper to let everyone die than to make the car safe, pleasant thought isn't it?

What they fail to realize is that of course the crash tests for Infinitis and Mercedes are gonna be expensive. I mean, pretend you own a car company that sells cars that cost an average of $45,000. When your consumers f*** up the cars they buy from you, you KNOW they have enough money to fix them if they can afford them in the first place, so they jack up the price. It's all strategy.
