I must take exception to some of this.  The only marque listed in this
reply that I know falls into this category is Mercury.  Lincoln and Audi
I know had distinguished histories before their acquisitions by larger
competitors.  Does Ferrari fit because Fiat owns them?  Does Rolls-Royce
now that BMW owns them (obligatory BMW content)?  The only companies
that fit this comparison are those created (not acquired) by someone to
sell similar cars at a higher price (i.e. Infiniti, Lexus, Acura,
Mercury).

Don't forget about Ford/Jaguar - now that is where Quality is job 1!  Would
Covy put that in sector 4 or just create a 5th
