It's not just Detroit that has problems....isn't European labor even more expensive?

Thats a shame I was looking forward to seeing the Retro Vanagan coming back..

Oh well you make an expencive product as the tides of change come into play your bound to suffer... Have to priced the VW Phanton or the SUV lately??

I say lets all revert back to motor cycles with sidecars... Or human/eletric bicycles....
