By nature I am not really a paranoid type, but I didn't fall off the turnip 
truck on Tuesday, either.

If I were a well-known German marque with a rather sterling reputation that 
I'd been dining out on for years, I would certainly not be above, in the 
rough and tumble of business life, slipping a healthy little vigorish to 
those who could polish that reputation in its dimmer hours, or even add some 
extra patina by bashing the serious competition, which is known to be totally 
out to lunch when it comes to protecting or enhancing its own image.

Just a speculation!  Please, no lawsuits!
