diablo69 submitted on 12/14/2006 Official Bell & Ross Timestamp: 12:03:36 AM

Sure the design looks great and it carries a prestigious Italian designer's name. What an amazing Euro-wanna-be car! The strategy is as follows: 1. Compete against the Germans by admitting that the European designers are the best. 2. Wait, that'...

As with Soccer, the inventors are not always the leaders

diablo69 submitted on 9/10/2006 Official Bell & Ross Timestamp: 8:22:01 PM
