Here's the merger or buyout everone should be (archive)

let me get this straight. ford cars have one of the shittiest reliability ratings so when they buy up BMW, BMW's reliability will get better? uhh no. if you want reliability, pray for a merger with Honda or a sale to Toyota. But then all u guys will be screaming, "OH NO THE BMW IMAGE WILL BE GONE! IT'S NOW A TOYOTA!!". Fools. The day I get a BMW that doesn't break every other month, I'll be in heaven. I wouldn't mind at ALL to find LEXUS parts in the BMW interior. BMW interior sucks shit anyhow, so it would be a vast improvement.

: Hi,

: I have been reading the boards and there have been lots of negative comments to a BMW buyout by Ford(If the rumour is true). But if we really lok at it, it may turn out to be a good thing after all.

: Well for starters,

: 1) We will have cheaper parts. (Yeah! Finally)

: 2) BMW quality will improve. Surprised??? Yes, under Ford's control Jaguar has actually improved in the quality department and is now ranked even higher than BMW for quality. Use this URL to find the article. (hope it is still there)

: 3) BMW will be slighlty cheaper??? Perhaps but I don't think so.

: 4) As for image being diluted, I think its all in the mind.

: Thats all folks. Please feel free to share your views.

: Thanks
