How long will BMW be able to escape the jaws of Ford or VW or ...?
This consolidation reminds me of the Dark Ages of the U.S. beer industry
in the '70s and '80s. Will there ever be a microbrewery age for
carmaking? After the world is reduced to a half-dozen bland McCar
vendors, will rapid prototyping and advanced N-C metalforming allow
"designer" car labels to flower again?
